4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Hypertension:
Treatment of hypertension.
Stable coronary artery disease:
Reduction of risk of cardiac events in patients with a history of
myocardial infarction and/or revascularisation.
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The dose should be individualised according to the patient profile
(see section 4.4) and blood pressure response.
- Hypertension:
Coversyl Arginine may be used in monotherapy or in combination with
other classes of antihypertensive therapy (see sections
4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 5.1).
The recommended starting dose is 5 mg given once dailyin the morning.
Patients with a strongly activated renin-angiotensin-aldosterone
system (in particular, renovascular hypertension, salt and/or
volume depletion, cardiac decompensation or severe hypertension) may
experience an excessive drop in blood pressure
following the initial dose. A starting dose of 2.5 mg is recommended
in such patients and the initiation of treatment should
take place under medical supervision.
The dose may be increased to 10 mg once daily after one month of
treatment.
Symptomatic hypotension may occur following initiation of therapy with
Coversyl Arginine; this is more likely in patients who
are being treated concurrently with diuretics. Caution is therefore
recommended since these patients may be volume and/or
salt depleted.
If possible, the diuretic should be discontinued 2 to 3 days before
beginning
