Patient leaflet - Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide 20 mg/12.5 mg tablets

1. What Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide is and what it is used for

Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide contains a combination of enalapril maleate and hydrochlorothiazide:

  • Enalapril belongs to a group of medicines called

    angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors), which lower blood pressure by widening your blood vessels.

  • Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to a group of drugs called

    diuretics ('water tablets'), which lower blood pressure by increasing the volume of urine you produce.

Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide is used when treatment with enalapril as a single agent on its own has proven insufficient.

Your doctor may also prescribe Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide instead of separate tablets of the same doses of enalapril and hydrochlorothiazide.

This fixed dose combination is not suitable for initial therapy.

2. What you need to know before you take Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide

Do not take Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide:

  • if you have taken or are currently taking sacubitril/

    valsartan, a medicine used to treat a type of long-term (chronic) heart failure in adults, as the risk of angioedema (rapid swelling under the skin in an area such as the throat) is increased.

  • if you are allergic to enalapril, hydrochlorothiazide or

    any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6)

  • if you have severe kidney problems
  • if you are not passing urine
  • if you have previously suffered from swelling of

    the extremities, face, lips, throat, mouth or tongue (angioedema) when treated with other ACE inhibitors such as ramipril or under any other circumstances

  • if someone in your family has previously suffered from

    swelling of the extremities, face, lips, throat, mouth or tongue (angioedema)

  • if you are allergic to a type of medicine called

    'sulphonamides'

  • if you are more than 3 months pregnant. (It is also better

    to avoid Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide in early pregnancy - see pregnancy section)

  • if you have severe liver problems
  • if you have diabetes or impaired kidney function

    and you are treated with a blood pressure lowering medicine containing aliskiren.

Do not take Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide if any of the above applies to you. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide.

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide:

  • if you experienced breathing or lung problems

    (including inflammation or fluid in the lungs) following hydrochlorothiazide intake in the past. If you develop any severe shortness of breath or difficulty breathing after taking Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide seek medical attention immediately.

  • if you have kidney problems, such as 'renal artery

    stenosis' (reduced blood flow to the kidney), have had a recent kidney transplantation, are a dialysis patient, or are taking 'water tablets' (diuretics)

  • if you have blood disorders or liver problems
  • if you have low blood pressure, are on a salt restricted

    diet, or have suffered from excessive vomiting or diarrhoea recently

  • if you have a heart condition called 'ischaemic heart

    disease' which reduces the blood supply to the heart muscles

  • if you have a heart condition called 'aortic stenosis',

    'hypertrophic cardiomyopathy' or 'outflow obstruction'

  • if you have a condition affecting the blood supply to

    your brain (cerebrovascular disease)

  • if you have heart failure
  • if you have collagen vascular disease such as systemic

    lupus erythematosus (SLE) or scleroderma, which may be associated with skin rashes, joint pain and fever

  • if you are taking immunosuppressant therapy (used

    for the treatment of autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis or following transplant surgery)

  • if you are taking any of the following medicines, the

    risk of angioedema (rapid swelling under the skin in areas such as the throat) may be increased: * racecadotril and other medicines containing NEP

    inhibitors (a medicine used to treat diarrhoea) * medicines used to prevent organ transplant

    rejection and for cancer (e.g., temsirolimus, sirolimus, everolimus) and other medicines belonging to the class of mTOR inhibitors * vildagliptin, a medicine used to treat diabetes * sacubitril (available as a fixed-dose combination

    with valsartan), used in patients with heart failure.

  • if you suffer from gout or are taking allopurinol (used

    for the treatment of gout), or procainamide (used to treat abnormal heart rhythms)

  • if you have a history of 'angioedema' while taking

    other medicines. The signs may have been itching, nettle rash, wheezing or swelling of your hands, throat, mouth or eyelids (see section 4)

  • if you have diabetes and are taking antidiabetic

    medicines, including insulin to control your diabetes (you should monitor your blood for low blood glucose levels, especially during the first month of treatment)

  • if you are taking potassium supplements or potassium

    containing salt substitutes

  • if you are taking other medicines that can affect the

    level of potassium in your blood, such as heparin (an anticoagulant)

  • if you have high levels of potassium in the blood
  • if you are taking lithium, used for the treatment of

    some psychiatric illnesses

  • if you have abnormal levels of water and minerals in

    your body (fluid/electrolyte imbalance)

  • if you are going to have tests to check your parathyroid

    function

  • if you have allergy problems or asthma
  • if you are taking any of the following medicines used

    to treat high blood pressure:

    * an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARBs) (also

    known as sartans - for example valsartan, telmisartan, irbesartan), in particular if you have diabetes-related kidney problems

    * aliskiren.

  • if you have had skin cancer or if you develop an

    unexpected skin lesion during the treatment. Treatment with hydrochlorothiazide, particularly long term use with high doses, may increase the risk of some types of skin and lip cancer (non-melanoma skin cancer). Protect your skin from sun exposure and UV rays while taking Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide.

    • if you experience a decrease in vision or eye pain.

      These could be symptoms of fluid accumulation in the vascular layer of the eye (choroidal effusion) or an increase of pressure in your eye and can happen within hours to weeks of taking Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide. This can lead to permanent vision loss, if not treated. If you earlier have had a penicillin or sulfonamide allergy, you can be at higher risk of developing this.

Your doctor may check your kidney function, blood pressure, and the amount of electrolytes (e.g. potassium) in your blood at regular intervals.

See also information under the heading "Do not take Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide".

You must tell your doctor if you think you are (or might become) pregnant. Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide is not recommended in early pregnancy, and must not be taken if you are more than 3 months pregnant, as it may cause serious harm to your baby if used at that stage (see pregnancy section).

You should be aware that this medicine may be less effective at lowering the blood pressure in black patients than in non-black patients.

If you are about to have any of the following procedures, you should tell your doctor who is treating you that you are taking Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide:

  • any surgery or receive anaesthetics (even at the dentist)
  • a treatment called LDL apheresis, to remove

    cholesterol from your blood using a machine

  • desensitisation treatment, to reduce the effect of an allergy to bee or wasp stings.

Routine tests

When you first start to take Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide, your doctor will monitor your blood pressure frequently to ensure you have been given the correct dose. In addition, for some patients the doctor may want to do some tests to measure your potassium, sodium, magnesium, creatinine and liver enzyme levels.

Tell your doctor if you have taken or will need to take an anti-doping test, as this medicine can produce a positive result.

Children

Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide is not recommended for use in children.

Other medicines and Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription as some drugs may affect each other’s action. Also some other medicines can affect the way Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide works. This applies in particular if you are also taking:

  • medicines to break up blood clots (tissue plasminogen activator), usually given in hospital, neprilysin (NEP) inhibitors such as sacubitril (available as fixed-dose combination with valsartan) and racecadotril (often used to treat diarrhoea) or medicines which are most often used to avoid rejection of transplanted organs (sirolimus, everolimus and other medicines belonging to the class of mTOR inhibitors). The risk of angioedema (rapid swelling under the skin in areas such as the throat) may be increased. See sections ‘Do not take Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide,’ and ‘Warnings and precautions’.
  • potassium sparing 'water tablets' (diuretics) such as spironolactone, eplerenone, triamterene or amiloride, potassium supplements, or potassium-containing salt substitutes. Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide may increase the levels of potassium in your blood leading to high potassium levels. This causes few signs and is usually seen by a test
  • potassium supplements (including salt substitutes), potassium-sparing diuretics (‘water tablets’ such as thiazides, furosemide, bumetanide), and other medicines that can increase potassium in your blood (e.g. trimethoprim and co-trimoxazole, also known as trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, for infections caused by bacteria; ciclosporin, an immunosuppressant medicine used to prevent organ transplant rejection; and heparin, a medicine used to thin blood to prevent clots)
  • other medicines that lower blood pressure, such as nitroglycerine, nitrates, vasodilators, methyldopa and angiotensin II receptor antagonists (e.g. candesartan, irbesartan and losartan)
  • lithium, used for the treatment of some psychiatric illnesses. Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide should not be taken with this drug
  • barbiturates (sedatives used for sleeplessness or epilepsy)
  • tricyclic antidepressants such as amitriptyline, used for depression and antipsychotics such as phenothiazines, used for severe anxiety
  • painkillers such as morphine or anaesthetics, because your blood pressure may become too low
  • cholestyramine or colestipol (used to help control cholesterol levels)
  • medicines used for, stiffness and inflammation associated with painful conditions, particularly those affecting your muscles, bones and joints including: * gold therapy (sodium aurothiomalate) which can lead to flushing of your face, feeling sick (nausea), vomiting and low blood pressure, when taken with Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide, and * non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), for example diflunisal or diclofenac. They may prevent your blood pressure from being well controlled and may increase the level of potassium in your blood
  • medicines such as ephedrine, used in some cough and cold remedies, or noradrenaline and adrenaline used for low blood pressure, shock, cardiac failure, asthma or allergies. If used with Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide these drugs may keep your blood pressure high
  • corticotropin (ACTH), used to test whether your adrenal glands are working properly
  • corticosteroids (used to treat certain conditions such as rheumatism, arthritis, allergic conditions, asthma or certain blood disorders)
  • probenecid, sulfinpyrazone and allopurinol (used to treat gout)
  • ciclosporin (immunosuppressive agents used for autoimmune disorders)
  • medicines for the treatment of cancer such as cyclophosphamide or methotrexate
  • antacids (used for indigestion relief)
  • procainamide, amiodarone, sotalol, quinidine, hydroquinidine, disopyramide, dofetilide or ibutilide (used to treat abnormal heart rhythms)
  • digitalis (used to treat heart rhythm problems)
  • carbenoxolone (used to treat stomach ulcers)
  • excessive use of laxatives
  • antidiabetic medicines such as insulin and metformin.

    Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide may cause your blood sugar levels to drop even further if you take it with antidiabetics

  • anti-pain and anti-inflammatory drugs, such as acetylsalicylic acid (more than 300 mg/day)
  • muscle relaxants, e.g. tubocurarine chloride used to relax the muscles during operations
  • salts of calcium and vitamin D
  • carbamazepine used to treat epilepsy or bipolar disorder
  • amphoteracin B used to treat fungal infections
  • iodinated contrast agents used in X-ray procedures
  • medicines such as atropine or biperiden.

Your doctor may need to change your dose and/or to take other precautions:

  • if you are taking an angiotensin II receptor blocker

    (ARB) or aliskiren (see also information under the headings "Do not take Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide" and "Warnings and precautions").

If you are not sure if any of the above apply to you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide.

Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide with alcohol

If you drink alcohol while taking Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide, it may cause your blood pressure to drop too much and you may experience dizziness, light-headedness or faintness. You should keep your alcohol intake to a minimum.

  • a severe allergic reaction with symptoms such as rash,

    itching, shortness of breath or wheezing, swelling of your hands, face, eyes, lips, tongue, mouth or throat, which may cause difficulty in swallowing (called angioedema). You should be aware that black patients are at an increased risk of these types of reactions to ACE inhibitors.

  • pain with a feeling of tightness, pressure or heaviness

    in the chest (angina)

  • severe dizziness, light-headedness, especially at the

    start of treatment or when you stand up.

    in the mouth (pemphigus), nettle rash, hair loss and itching. Sometimes skin problems may be accompanied by fever, serious inflammation, inflammation of the blood vessels, muscle pain and/or joint pain, changes in blood composition and an increase in sedimentation rate (a blood test to detect inflammation)

  • Severe breathing difficulties, including when resting,

    generally feeling unwell with increased shivering, fever, sweating, cough or wheezing
