). The safety and efficacy of perindopril erbumine/ indapamide in renovascular hypertension and in congestive heart failure have not been established and therefore, their use in this condition is not recommended. 1 Pediatrics (<18 years of age) The safety and effectiveness of perindopril erbumine/ indapamide in children have not been established.

Its use in this age group, therefore, is not recommended. 2 Geriatrics (> 65 years of age) Although the blood pressure response and safety profile of perindopril erbumine/ indapamide in patients >65 years old were comparable to those of the younger adult patients, greater sensitivity of some elderly patients cannot be ruled out.

). Treatment of progressive angioedema should be aggressive. Failing a rapid response to medical therapy, mechanical methods to secure an airway should be undertaken before massive oedema complicates oral or nasal intubation. Patients who respond to medical treatment should be observed carefully for a possible rebound phenomenon.

The onset of angioedema associated with the use of ACE inhibitors may be delayed for weeks or months. Patients may have multiple episodes of angioedema with long symptom-free intervals. Angioedema may occur with or without urticaria.

The incidence of angioedema during ACE inhibitor therapy has been reported to be higher in black than in non-black patients. There are reports that switching a patient to another ACE inhibitor could be followed by a recurrence of angioedema.

Because of the potential severity of this rare event, another ACE inhibitor should not be used in patients with a history of angioedema (see 2 CONTRAINDICATIONS). Patients with a history of angioedema unrelated to ACE inhibitor therapy may be at increased risk of angioedema while receiving an ACE inhibitor (see 2 CONTRAINDICATIONS).

• Combination with anti-arrhythmic agents causing torsade de pointes (see 9 DRUG INTERACTIONS – Drug-Drug Interactions). • Patients with hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, glucose-galactose malabsorption, or the total lactase deficiency as PERINDOPRIL/INDAPAMIDE contain lactose (see 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Sensitivity/Resistance).

PERINDOPRIL/INDAPAMIDE must not be initiated earlier than 36 hours after the last dose of sacubitril/valsartan. 732) (see 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Dual Blockade of the Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS) and Renal, and 9 DRUG INTERACTIONS, Drug-Drug Interactions, Dual Blockade of the Renin-Angiotensin-System (RAS) with ACE inhibitors, ARBs or aliskiren-containing drugs).

• Patients with extracorporeal treatments leading to contact of blood with negatively charged surfaces (see 9 DRUG INTERACTIONS), • Patients with bilateral renal artery stenosis or renal artery stenosis in a single functioning kidney (see 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Renal).

3 SERIOUS WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS BOX Serious Warnings and Precautions • When used in pregnancy, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors can cause injury or even death of the developing fetus. • When pregnancy is detected, PERINDOPRIL/INDAPAMIDE should be discontinued as soon as possible.

1 Dosing Considerations Dosage of PERINDOPRIL/INDAPAMIDE must be individualized and adjustment is required in the elderly, and in case of renal impairment. PERINDOPRIL/INDAPAMIDE are not for initial therapy and the dose should be determined by titration of the individual components.

2 Recommended Dose and Dosage Adjustment Initiation of therapy requires consideration of recent antihypertensive drug treatment, the extent of blood pressure elevation and salt restriction. 5 mg indapamide) may need to be adjusted. The presence of food in the gastrointestinal tract reduces the bioavailability of perindoprilat.
