Zofenil Plus, Menarini International Operations Luxembourg
indications:
Treatment of mild and moderate spontaneous hypertension. The compound drug is indicated for use by patients who can not be adequately controlled on blood pressure only with zofenopril.
Composition:
1 tabl powl. contains 30 mg of zofenopril Calcium and 12.5 mg of hydrochlorothiazide; drug contains lactose.
Action:
Contraindications:
Hypersensitivity to zofenopril, other ACE inhibitors, hydrochlorothiazide, other sulphonamide derivatives or to any of the excipients. Angioedema associated with treatment with ACE inhibitors. Congenital or idiopathic angioedema. Severe hepatic failure. Severe renal failure (creatinine clearance <30 ml / min). Bilateral renal artery stenosis or unilateral renal artery stenosis for the sole active kidney. II and III trimester of pregnancy. Concomitant use with aliskiren in patients with diabetes mellitus or renal impairment (glomerular filtration rate, GFR <60 ml / min / 1.73 m2).
Precautions:
Pregnancy and lactation:
The use of the preparation in the first trimester of pregnancy is not recommended. Use in the second and third trimester of pregnancy is contraindicated. Zofenopril used in the second and third trimester of pregnancy is toxic to fetal development (deterioration of renal function, oligohydramnios, delayed ossification of the skull) and newborn (renal failure, hypotension, hyperkalemia) - when exposure to the drug occurred from the second trimester of pregnancy, it is recommended an ultrasound examination of the fetus skull and kidneys; children whose mothers took the drug during pregnancy should be closely monitored for hypotension. Hydrochlorothiazide in the second and third trimester may interfere with fetal-placental blood flow and may cause fetal and neonatal effects such as jaundice, electrolyte disturbances and thrombocytopenia. Hydrochlorothiazide should not be used in the treatment of gestational edema, gestational hypertension or pre-eclampsia and in the treatment of essential hypertension in pregnant women. It is not recommended to take a combined medicine while breastfeeding, especially when breastfeeding a newborn or premature baby. If the drug is used during breastfeeding, the dose should be as low as possible.

Dosage:
Orally. Adults: 1 tabl. once a day. It is recommended that individual doses of the individual active substances (ie zofenopril and hydrochlorothiazide) be adjusted before the start of the co-administration. If clinically warranted, a direct change from monotherapy to compound treatment may be considered.Special groups of patients. Elderly patients with normal creatinine clearance do not need to change the dosage. In patients with mild renal impairment (CCr> 45 ml / min), no dosage adjustment is necessary; it is not recommended to use the drug in patients with CCr <45 ml / min; use in patients with CCr <30 ml / min is contraindicated; in patients undergoing dialysis, the use is not recommended. In patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment, where a 30 mg dose of zofenopril alone has been reached, the same dosage regimen may be used as for patients with normal hepatic function; in patients with severe hepatic insufficiency, the use of the drug is contraindicated.
