Telprez Plus, tablets 40 mg+12, 5 mg 98 pcs

Pharmacotherapeutic group:

Hypertensive combined agent (angiotensin II receptor antagonist + diuretic)

ATX:

C.09.D.A.07 Telmisartan in combination with diuretics

Pharmacodynamics:

Telpres Plus is a combination of telmisartan (angiotensin II receptor antagonist) and hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic. Simultaneous use of these components leads to a more pronounced antihypertensive effect than the use of each of them separately.

Telprez Plus once daily leads to a significant gradual decrease in blood pressure (BP).

Telmisartan

Telmisartan is a specific angiotensin II receptor antagonist (AT1 type) that is effective when taken orally. It has a high affinity for the AT 1 subtype of angiotensin II receptors, through which the action of angiotensin II is realized. It displaces angiotensin II from binding to the receptor, having no agonist effect against this receptor. Telmisartan binds only to the AT1 subtype of angiotensin II receptor. The binding is long-lasting. It has no affinity for other receptors, including AT2 receptor and other less studied angiotensin receptors. The functional significance of these receptors and the effect of their possible overstimulation by angiotensin II, the concentration of which increases with telmisartan administration, has not been studied. It reduces the blood concentration of aldosterone, does not inhibit plasma renin and does not block ion channels. Telmisartan does not inhibit angiotensin-converting enzyme (kinininase II) (an enzyme that also degrades bradykinin). Therefore, an increase in bradykinin-induced side effects is not expected.

In patients with arterial hypertension, telmisartan at a dose of 80 mg completely blocks the hypertensive effect of angiotensin II. The onset of antihypertensive action is noted within 3 hours after the first oral administration of telmisartan. The action of the drug persists for 24 hours and remains significant up to 48 hours. A pronounced antihypertensive effect usually develops 4 weeks after regular use.

In patients with arterial hypertension, telmisartan reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) without affecting heart rate (HR).

In case of abrupt telmisartan withdrawal BP gradually returns to baseline levels without development of “withdrawal” syndrome.

Hydrochlorothiazide

Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic. Thiazide diuretics affect electrolyte reabsorption in the renal tubules by directly increasing sodium and chloride excretion (approximately equivalent amounts). Diuretic effect of hydrochlorothiazide leads to decreased circulating blood volume (CBC), increased plasma renin activity, increased secretion of aldosterone, with a subsequent increase in urinary potassium and hydrocarbonates and, as a consequence, decreased plasma potassium content. When concomitantly administered with telmisartan, there is a tendency to stop potassium loss caused by these diuretics, presumably due to blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). After oral administration, diuresis increases after 2 hours, and the maximum effect is observed after about 4 hours. Diuretic effect of the drug lasts for about 6-12 hours.

Long-term use of hydrochlorothiazide reduces the risk of cardiovascular complications and mortality.

The maximum antihypertensive effect of Telprez Plus is usually achieved 4 to 8 weeks after starting treatment.

Pharmacokinetics:

The co-administration of telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide has no effect on the pharmacokinetics of either component of the drug.

Telmisartan:

Intake

If taken orally, it is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Bioavailability is about 50%. When taken concomitantly with food, the decrease in AUC (area under the curve “concentration-time”) ranges from 6% (at a dose of 40 mg) to 19% (at a dose of 160 mg). Three hours after ingestion, plasma concentrations level off regardless of food intake.

Distribution

The binding to plasma proteins is 99.5%, mainly to albumin and alpha-1 glycoprotein. Average apparent volume of distribution at equilibrium concentration is 500 l.

Metabolism

Metabolized by conjugation with glucuronic acid. The metabolites are pharmacologically inactive.

Elimination

The elimination half-life (T1/2) is more than 20 hours. Excretion is through the intestine unchanged, renal excretion is less than 2% of the administered dose. Total plasma clearance is high (900 ml/min) compared to “hepatic blood flow” (about 1500 ml/min).

Pharmacokinetics in special patient groups

Gender differences

There is a difference in plasma concentrations in men and women. Cmax (maximum concentration) and AUC were approximately 3 and 2 times higher in women compared to men, respectively, with no significant effect on efficacy. No dose adjustment is required.

Elderly patients

The pharmacokinetics of telmisartan in elderly patients do not differ from those in younger patients. No dose adjustment is required.

Patients with impaired renal function

In patients with mild to moderate impaired renal function, no dose adjustment of telmisartan is required.

In patients with severe renal impairment and patients on hemodialysis, a lower starting dose of 20 mg daily is recommended. Telmisartan is not excreted by hemodialysis.

Patients with hepatic impairment

Pharmacokinetic studies in patients with hepatic impairment have shown an increase in the absolute bioavailability of telmisartan to almost 100%. In hepatic insufficiency the T1/2 is not changed. In patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class A and B) the daily dose of the drug should not exceed 40 mg.

Hydrochlorothiazide:

After oral administration of the drug Telprez Plus the maximum concentrations of hydrochlorothiazide in plasma are reached within 1-3 hours. Absolute bioavailability, based on total renal excretion, is about 60%. Plasma proteins bind 64% of hydrochlorothiazide, and the volume of distribution is 0.8±0.3 l/kg. Hydrochlorothiazide is not metabolized in the body and is excreted by the kidneys almost unchanged. About 60% of the oral dose is eliminated within 48 hours. Renal clearance is about 250-300 ml/min. T1L of hydrochlorothiazide is 10-15 hours. There is a difference in plasma concentrations in men and women. In women telmisartan plasma concentration is 2-3 times higher than in men, also in women there is a tendency for increased plasma concentration of hydrochlorothiazide clinically insignificant.

Patients with impaired renal function

In patients with impaired renal function the excretion rate of hydrochlorothiazide is reduced.

Studies performed in patients with a creatinine clearance (CK) of 90 ml/min have shown that the T1/2 of hydrochlorothiazide is increased. In patients with decreased renal function, the T1/2 is about 34 hours.

– Telpres Plus 25/80 mg may be indicated in patients in whom the use of telmisartan 80 mg or Telpres Plus 12.5/80 mg does not adequately control BP, or in patients whose condition has previously been stabilized by telmisartan or hydrochlorothiazide when used separately.

In patients with severe arterial hypertension, the maximum daily dose of telmisartan is 160 mg in combination with hydrochlorothiazide at a daily dose of 12.5-25 mg.

Renal dysfunction

Limited experience with Telprez Plus in patients with mild to moderate renal dysfunction does not require a change in the dose of the drug in these cases. Renal function should be monitored in these patients (if CK is less than 30 ml/min, see section “Contraindications”).

Hepatic disorders

In patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class A and B), the daily dose of Telpras Plus should not exceed 12.5/40 mg daily (see “Pharmacokinetics” section).

Elderly patients

The dosing regimen requires no changes.

Interaction

Telmisartan

Telmisartan may increase the antihypertensive effect of other antihypertensive agents. Other interactions of clinical relevance have not been identified.

Combined use with digoxin, warfarin, hydrochlorothiazide, glibenclamide, ibuprofen, paracetamol, simvastatin and amlodipine does not lead to clinically significant interactions.

Double blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS)

The concomitant use of telmisartan with aliskiren is contraindicated in patients with diabetes or renal insufficiency (FFR less than 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 body surface area) and is not recommended in other patients. Simultaneous use of telmisartan and ACE inhibitors is contraindicated in patients with diabetic nephropathy.

The data from clinical studies have shown that dual RAAS blockade due to combined use of ACE inhibitors, ARA II or aliskiren is associated with an increased incidence of adverse events such as arterial hypotension, hyperkalemia and renal impairment (including acute renal failure) compared to use of a single drug acting on RAAS alone.

. The risk of hyperkalemia may increase when co-administered with other drugs that can cause hyperkalemia (potassium-containing supplements and salt substitutes containing potassium and potassium-saving diuretics (spironolactone eplerenone, triamterene, or amiloride), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, including selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX) inhibitors), heparin, immunosuppressants (cyclosporine, tacrolimus, trimethoprim). If it is necessary against the background of documented hypokalemia, co-administration of drugs should be performed with caution and plasma potassium content should be regularly monitored.

Digoxin

The co-administration of telmisartan with digoxin has shown a 49% increase in mean plasma Cmax of digoxin and a 20% increase in minimum concentration. Plasma digoxin concentrations should be carefully monitored at initiation of treatment, dose selection, and discontinuation of telmisartan treatment to maintain them within the therapeutic range.

Kalium-saving diuretics or potassium-containing supplements

Angiotensin II receptor antagonists, such as telmisartan, reduce diuretic-induced potassium loss. Potassium-saving diuretics such as spironolactone, eplerenone, triamterene, or amiloride, potassium-containing supplements, or salt substitutes may result in a significant increase in plasma potassium. If concomitant use is indicated because there is documented hypokalemia, these should be used with caution and with regular monitoring of plasma potassium.

Lithium preparations

The co-administration of lithium preparations with ACE inhibitors and ARA II, including telmisartan, has resulted in reversible increases in plasma lithium concentration and its toxic effects. If it is necessary to use this combination of drugs, it is recommended to carefully monitor plasma lithium concentrations.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)

NSAIDs (including acetylsalicylic acid in doses used for anti-inflammatory treatment, COX-2 inhibitors and non-selective NSAIDs) may weaken the antihypertensive effect of APA II. In some patients with impaired renal function (e.g., patients with dehydration, elderly patients with impaired renal function), coadministration of APA II and drugs that inhibit cyclooxygenase-2 may lead to further deterioration of renal function, including development of acute renal failure, which is usually reversible. Therefore, coadministration of drugs should be used with caution, especially in elderly patients. Adequate fluid intake should be ensured, and renal function parameters should be monitored at the beginning of coadministration and periodically thereafter.

Diuretics (thiazide or loop diuretics)

. Previous treatment with high doses of diuretics such as furosemide (loop diuretic) and hydrochlorothiazide (thiazide diuretic) may lead to hypovolemia and risk of arterial hypotension at the start of telmisartan treatment.

Other antihypertensive agents

The effects of telmisartan may be enhanced when other antihypertensive drugs are used together. Based on the pharmacological properties of baclofen and amifostine, it can be assumed that they will enhance the therapeutic effect of all antihypertensive agents, including telmisartan. In addition, orthostatic hypotension may be increased with alcohol, barbiturates, narcotics, or antidepressants.

Corticosteroids (for systemic use)

Corticosteroids impair the effects of telmisartan.

Hydrochlorothiazide

When used concomitantly with:

– ethanol, barbiturates, or narcotic analgesics: risk of orthostatic hypotension;

– oral hypoglycemic agents and insulin: dose adjustment of oral hypoglycemic agents and insulin may be required;

– metformin: risk of lactic acidosis;

– colestiramine and colestipol: absorption of hydrochlorothiazide is impaired in the presence of anionic metabolizers;

– cardiac glycosides: risk of hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia caused by thiazide diuretics, development of arrhythmias caused by intake of cardiac glycosides;

– pressor amines (e.g., norepinephrine): the effects of pressor amines may be attenuated;

– nondepolarizing myorelaxants (e.g., tubocurarine chloride): hydrochlorothiazide may increase the effect of nondepolarizing myorelaxants;

– antipodagric agents: serum concentrations of uric acid may increase and therefore changes in the dose of uricosuric agents may be required. Thiazide diuretics use increases the incidence of hypersensitivity reactions to allopurinol;

Calcium preparations and vitamin D: thiazide diuretics may increase serum calcium content due to reduced renal excretion. If the use of calcium preparations is required, the calcium content in blood should be monitored regularly, and the dose of calcium preparations should be changed, if necessary;

Beta-adrenoblockers and diazoxide: Thiazide diuretics may increase hyperglycemia caused by beta-adrenoblockers and diazoxide;

– m-cholinoblockers (e.g., atropine, biperidine): decreased gastrointestinal motility, increased bioavailability of thiazide diuretics;

– amantadine: Amantadine clearance may be reduced by hydrochlorothiazide, resulting in increased plasma concentrations of amantadine and possible toxicity;

– Cytotoxic agents (e.g., cyclophosphamide, methotrexate): decreased renal excretion of cytotoxic agents and enhance their myelosuppressive effects;

– NSAIDs: co-administration with thiazide diuretics may lead to a decrease in diuretic and antihypertensive effects;

– agents that cause potassium excretion and hypokalemia (e.g., potassium withdrawing diuretics laxatives; glucocorticosteroids, calcitonin, ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone), glycyrrhizic acid (found in licorice root), amphotericin B; carbenoxolone; benzylpenicillin; acetylsalicylic acid derivatives) intensification of hypokalemic effect. Hypokalemia caused by hydrochlorothiazide is compensated by the potassium-saving effect of telmisartan;

– theophylline: increased risk of hypokalemia;

– amiodarone: concomitant use with thiazide diuretics may lead to an increased risk of arrhythmias associated with hypokalemia;

– potassium-saving diuretics, potassium preparations, other agents that can increase serum potassium levels (e.g., heparin), or replacement of sodium in table salt with potassium salts may lead to hyperkalemia.

Periodic monitoring of plasma potassium is recommended in cases where Telprez Plus is prescribed together with drugs that may cause hypokalemia as well as with drugs that may increase serum potassium.

Special Instructions

Hepatic disorders

The use of Telpres Plus is contraindicated in patients with cholestasis, biliary obstruction or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C) (see section “Contraindications”), since telmisartan is mainly excreted with bile. It is assumed that hepatic clearance of telmisartan is reduced in such patients. In patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh grades A and B), Telpras Plus should be used with caution (see section “Caution”).

Renovascular hypertension

The treatment with drugs acting on the RAAS increases the risk of severe arterial hypotension and renal failure in patients with bilateral arterial stenosis or arterial stenosis of the only functioning kidney.

Kidney dysfunction and renal transplantation

In patients with impaired renal function, periodic monitoring of plasma potassium and creatinine is recommended during use of Telprez Plus. There is no experience in clinical use of Telprez Plus in patients with recent kidney transplantation.

The use of thiazide diuretics in patients with impaired renal function may lead to azotemia. Periodic monitoring of renal function is recommended.

Lower circulating blood volume

Symptomatic arterial hypotension, especially after the first administration of Telprez Plus may occur in patients with reduced RBC and/or plasma sodium content due to previous treatment with diuretics, restricted intake of table salt, diarrhea or vomiting. Such conditions (fluid and/or sodium deficiency) should be eliminated before starting the drug Telprez Plus.

Double blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system

The concomitant use of telmisartan with aliskiren is contraindicated in patients with diabetes mellitus or renal impairment (glomerular filtration rate less than 60 ml/min/1.73 m2) (see “Contraindications”).

The concomitant use of telmisartan and ACE inhibitors is contraindicated in patients with diabetic nephropathy (see section “Contraindications”).

As a result of RAAS inhibition, arterial hypotension, syncope, hyperkalemia and renal dysfunction (including acute renal failure) have been reported in predisposed patients, especially when several drugs that also act on this system are used together. Therefore, dual RAAS blockade (e.g., against the background of taking telmisartan with other RAAS antagonists) is not recommended.

. In cases when vascular tone and renal function are dependent predominantly on RAAS activity (e.g., in patients with chronic heart failure or renal disease, including renal artery stenosis or arterial stenosis of the sole kidney), the administration of agents affecting this system may be accompanied by development of acute arterial hypotension, hyperazotemia, oliguria, and in rare cases of acute renal failure.

Primary aldosteronism

In patients with primary aldosteronism, treatment with antihypertensive medications that work by inhibiting the RAAS is generally ineffective.

Aortic and mitral valve stenosis, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy

Cautious use of Telpras Plus (as well as other vasodilators) should be observed in patients with aortic or mitral stenosis as well as hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.

Acute myopia and secondary closed-angle glaucoma

Hydrochlorothiazide, being a sulfonamide derivative, may cause an idiosyncratic reaction in the form of acute transient myopia and acute closed-angle glaucoma. Symptoms of these disorders are a sudden decrease in visual acuity or eye pain, which in typical cases occur within hours to weeks after the start of the drug. If left untreated, acute closed-angle glaucoma can lead to loss of vision. The main treatment is to withdraw hydrochlorothiazide as soon as possible. Keep in mind that if the intraocular pressure remains uncontrolled, urgent conservative or surgical treatment may be necessary. A history of allergy to sulfonamides or penicillin may be a risk factor for acute closed angle glaucoma.

The effect on metabolism and endocrine function

In patients with diabetes mellitus, a change in the dose of insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents may be required. Latent diabetes mellitus may manifest during therapy with thiazide diuretics.

In some cases thiazide diuretics may cause hyperuricemia and exacerbation of gout.

Disorders of water-electrolyte balance

When using Telpras Plus, as in case of diuretic therapy, periodic monitoring of serum electrolytes is required. Thiazide diuretics including hydrochlorothiazide may cause electrolyte and acid-base imbalance (hypokalemia, hyponatremia and hypochloremic alkalosis). Dry mouth, thirst, generalized weakness, sleepiness, restlessness, myalgia or cramping of the calves (crumpets), muscle weakness, markedly low blood pressure, oliguria, tachycardia, and gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea or vomiting are warning signs for these disorders.

The use of thiazide diuretics may result in hypokalemia, but concomitant use of telmisartan may increase blood potassium levels. The risk of hypokalemia is most increased in patients with cirrhosis, with increased diuresis, with a salt-free diet, as well as in case of concomitant use of glucocorticosteroids, calcitonin, ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone), glycyrrhizic acid (contained in licorice root), Telmisartan, a component of the drug Telprez Plus, on the contrary, may lead to hyperkalemia due to antagonism to angiotensin II receptors (AT1 subtype). Although clinically significant hyperkalemia has not been reported with the use of Telprez Plus, it should be taken into account that the risk factors of its development include renal and/or heart failure and diabetes mellitus.

There is no evidence that Telprez Plus can reduce or prevent hyponatremia caused by taking diuretics. Hypochloremia is usually mild and does not require treatment.

Thiazide diuretics may decrease renal calcium excretion and cause (in the absence of overt calcium metabolism disorders) a transient and small increase in serum calcium. More pronounced hypercalcemia may be a sign of hidden hyperparathyroidism. Thiazide diuretics should be discontinued before evaluation of parathyroid function.

Thiazide diuretics have been shown to increase renal excretion of magnesium, which may lead to hypomagnesemia.

In patients with coronary heart disease, use of any hypotensive agent, if the BP is reduced excessively, may lead to myocardial infarction or stroke.

Strengthened monitoring of patients with impaired uric acid metabolism is required; thiazides may decrease the amount of iodine bound to serum proteins without evidence of thyroid dysfunction; there are reported cases of photosensitivity reactions when taking thiazide diuretics. If a photosensitivity reaction occurs during treatment, it is recommended to suspend treatment. If it is decided that the diuretic should be restarted, areas of the body that could be exposed to sunlight or ultraviolet type A radiation should be protected and sun exposure should be avoided; hydrochlorothiazide can increase blood cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations; hydrochlorothiazide can test positive for doping control.

There have been reports of systemic lupus erythematosus when using thiazide diuretics.

Ethnic differences

The ACE inhibitors, telmisartan, and other ARAs II appear to be less effective in lowering blood pressure in black patients than in other races, possibly because of a greater predisposition to lower renin activity in these patient populations.

Other

As with other antihypertensives, excessive BP lowering in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy or coronary heart disease can lead to myocardial infarction or stroke.

The effect on the ability to drive trans. cf. and mech:

There have been no specific clinical studies evaluating the effect of Telprez Plus on the ability to drive motor vehicles and operate mechanisms requiring increased attention. However, when driving motor transport and engaging in potentially dangerous activities one should take into account the possibility of dizziness and somnolence, which requires caution.
