CLINICAL PARTICULARS

Treatment of essential hypertension in adults.

4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
_Posology_
The recommended dose of Valsacor HD 160 160 mg/25 mg is one film
coated tablet once daily. Dose
titration with the individual components is recommended. In each case,
up-titration of individual
components to the next dose should be followed in order to reduce the
risk of hypotension and other
adverse events.
When clinically appropriate, a direct change from monotherapy to the
fixed combination may be
considered in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately
controlled on valsartan or
hydrochlorothiazide monotherapy, provided the recommended dose
titration sequence for the
individual components is followed.
The clinical response to Valsacor HD 160 should be evaluated after
initiating therapy and if blood
pressure remains uncontrolled, the dose may be increased by increasing
either one of the components
to a maximum dose of valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide 160 320 mg/25 mg.
The antihypertensive effect is substantially present within 2 weeks.
In most patients, maximal effects are observed within 4 weeks.
However, in some patients, 4–8 weeks
of treatment may be required. This should be taken into account during
dose titr
