Pharmacological properties of the drug Cardosal
Olmesartan medoxomil is a potent, selective angiotensin II receptor antagonist (type AT1), which inhibits the effects of angiotensin II mediated by AT1 receptors, regardless of the source and route of angiotensin II synthesis. Selective antagonism of AT1 receptors and angiotensin II leads to an increase in the concentrations of renin, angiotensin I and II in the blood plasma, as well as a slight decrease in the concentration of aldosterone. In hypertension (arterial hypertension), olmesartan medoxomil causes a dose-dependent, long-lasting decrease in blood pressure. There is no data regarding the development of arterial hypotension after taking the first dose of the drug, tachyphylaxis during prolonged treatment and withdrawal syndrome. Dosing olmesartan medoxomil once a day provides an effective and gentle reduction in blood pressure over 24 hours. The maximum antihypertensive effect is achieved after 8 weeks from the start of therapy, although a significant effect of lowering blood pressure is noted after 2 weeks of treatment. Olmesartan medoxomil is a prodrug. It is rapidly converted to the pharmacologically active metabolite olmesartan by esterases in the intestinal mucosa and in the blood of the portal vein during absorption in the digestive tract. Undegraded olmesartan medoxomil or the intact side chain of the medoxomil group was not detected in plasma or secretions. The average absolute bioavailability of olmesartan when used in tablet dosage form is 25.6%. The maximum concentration of olmesartan in blood plasma is on average reached approximately 2 hours after oral administration of the drug and increases almost linearly with an increase in the single oral dose taken to 80 mg. Concomitant food intake has virtually no effect on the bioavailability of olmesartan. The binding of olmesartan to plasma proteins is 99.7%, however, the potential for a clinically significant shift in protein binding when olmesartan interacts with other highly protein-bound drugs is low (this is confirmed by the fact that there is no clinically significant interaction between olmesartan and warfarin). Olmesartan is excreted in urine (approximately 40%) and bile (approximately 60%), its half-life is 10–15 hours. Cumulation of olmesartan was not observed.

Use of the drug Cardosal
Adults. The initial daily dose of olmesartan medoxomil is 10 mg. If blood pressure does not decrease sufficiently, the dose of the drug is increased to the optimal daily dose of 20 mg. If necessary, the dose of the drug can be increased to a maximum of 40 mg/day. The drug is taken daily at the same time, regardless of meals. Elderly patients. There is usually no need for dose adjustment in elderly patients (see recommended doses for patients with impaired renal function). If it is necessary to increase the daily dose to a maximum of 40 mg/day, the increase should be carried out under close monitoring of blood pressure. mild or moderate renal impairment The maximum daily dose for these patients is 20 mg. To enhance the effect of the drug, hydrochlorothiazide is used.
Indications for use, restrictions
Cardosal is prescribed for hypertension, which is marked by a persistent increase in systolic and diastolic blood pressure. As a rule, it is prescribed for primary (essential) hypertension. This pathology has no connection with disease of the organs that regulate blood pressure. It is based on hereditary predisposition.
At risk are people who are obese, abuse alcohol, have a nicotine addiction, suffer from stress, as well as pregnant women and representatives of the black race.
Reasons for the development of headache

Special instructions for the use of the drug Cardosal
Due to the lack of sufficient clinical experience, the use of olmesartan medoxomil is not recommended in patients with severe renal failure (creatinine clearance ≤20 ml/min) or in patients with impaired liver function. If the patient, before prescribing olmesartan medoxomil, received intensive diuretic therapy, followed a salt-free diet, or had diarrhea and/or vomiting, then after taking the first dose of the drug, arterial hypotension may develop as a result of a decrease in blood volume. Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate the possibility of hypovolemia before starting treatment with olmesartan medoxomil. Olmesartan medoxomil should be prescribed with caution to patients with heart failure, kidney disease, or stenosis of the renal artery of both or a single kidney, since there is a risk of developing acute hypotension, azotemia, oliguria, and acute renal failure. When treating patients with impaired renal function, it is recommended to periodically monitor the level of potassium and creatinine in the blood serum. Caution should be exercised when using olmesartan medoxomil in patients with aortic or mitral valve stenosis or obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Patients with primary hyperaldosteronism do not respond to the use of ACE inhibitors, therefore it is not recommended to prescribe them olmesartan medoxomil. It should be remembered that an excessive decrease in blood pressure in patients with coronary artery disease or cerebral atherosclerosis can lead to the development of myocardial infarction or ischemic stroke. When using olmesartan medoxomil, dizziness or increased fatigue may occasionally occur, which must be taken into account in patients driving vehicles and/or servicing technical equipment. The drug contains lactose, so it should not be used in patients with hereditary galactose intolerance, lactase deficiency or glucose/galactose malabsorption syndrome.

Contraindications for use - hereditary lactose intolerance, deficiency of lactase in the body or malabsorption syndrome of glucose and lactose; - severe liver dysfunction (more than 9 points on the Child-Pugh scale) (risk of developing hepatic coma), biliary obstruction and cholestasis; - severe renal dysfunction (creatinine clearance less than 30 ml/min.); - refractory hypokalemia, hyponatremia, hypercalcemia and symptomatic hyperuricemia; - pregnancy; - lactation period; - age under 18 years (the effectiveness and safety of the drug have not been studied); - hypersensitivity to olmesartan medoxomil, hydrochlorothiazide or other sulfonamide derivatives or to any of the excipients included in the drug (see section Composition). With caution: - bronchial asthma; — coronary heart disease (CHD); — chronic heart failure in the stage of decompensation; - severe cerebrovascular disorders; - stenosis of the aortic or mitral valve; — hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy; - mild to moderate liver dysfunction (less than 9 points on the Child-Pugh scale); - impaired renal function (creatinine clearance more than 30 ml/min., but less than 60 ml/min.); - bilateral renal artery stenosis or stenosis of the artery of a single kidney; — condition after a recent kidney transplant (no experience with the drug); - primary aldosteronism; - diabetes mellitus, gout; - water-electrolyte imbalance, dehydration; — connective tissue diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus; - patients on a salt-restricted diet or on hemodialysis; - when bone marrow hematopoiesis is suppressed; - conditions accompanied by a decrease in circulating blood volume; — (OTSK) incl. diarrhea, vomiting or previous diuretic therapy. Use during pregnancy and lactation There is no experience with the use of olmesartan medoxomil in pregnant women. However, due to existing reports of severe teratogenic effects of drugs acting on the RAAS, like any drug of this class, Cardosal® plus is contraindicated for use during pregnancy. If pregnancy is planned or occurs during therapy with Cardosal® plus, the drug should be discontinued as soon as possible. It is not known whether olmesartan medoxomil is excreted in breast milk, but thiazides are excreted in breast milk and may suppress lactation, therefore, if it is necessary to use the drug Cardosal® plus during lactation, breastfeeding should be discontinued while taking it. Use for liver dysfunction Contraindicated in severe liver dysfunction (more than 9 points on the Child-Pugh scale) (risk of developing hepatic coma), biliary obstruction and cholestasis. Use for impaired renal function Contraindicated in cases of severe impaired renal function (creatinine clearance less than 30 ml/min.). With caution: - impaired renal function (creatinine clearance more than 30 ml/min., but less than 60 ml/min.); - bilateral renal artery stenosis or stenosis of the artery of a single kidney; - condition after a recent kidney transplant (no experience with the drug). Patients with impaired renal function (creatinine clearance = 30-60 ml/min.) do not require dose adjustment. Use in children Contraindicated in children under 18 years of age. Use in elderly patients Elderly patients (over 65 years of age) with normal renal function (creatinine clearance more than 90 ml/min) do not require dose adjustment. Special instructions Symptomatic arterial hypotension, especially after taking the first dose of the drug, may occur in patients with reduced blood volume and/or reduced sodium concentration due to intensive diuretic therapy, limited dietary salt intake during dietary nutrition, and also due to diarrhea or vomiting. Relevant factors should be eliminated before starting the use of Cardosal® plus. Thiazide diuretics, including hydrochlorothiazide, may cause disturbances in the blood volume or water-electrolyte balance of the blood serum (including hypokalemia, hyponatremia and hypochloremic alkalosis). Precursor symptoms are: dryness of the oral mucosa, thirst, weakness, drowsiness, anxiety, myalgia or cramps, muscle weakness, arterial hypotension, oliguria, tachycardia, nausea and vomiting (see section Side effects). The highest risk of developing hypokalemia exists in patients with liver cirrhosis, in patients undergoing forced diuresis, and in those patients who are simultaneously taking glucocorticosteroids or ACTT (see section Interaction with other drugs). Conversely, due to the antagonism of the angiotensin II (AT1) receptors contained in Cardosal plus olmesartan medoxomil, hyperkalemia may occur, especially in patients with decreased renal function and/or chronic heart failure, as well as patients with diabetes. In patients with risk factors, regular monitoring of serum potassium concentration is recommended. There are no data on whether olmesartan medoxomil can reduce or prevent diuretic-induced hyponatremia. In hot weather, dilution hyponatremia may occur in patients prone to edema. The decrease in chloride concentration is generally insignificant and usually does not require treatment. Thiazides can reduce the excretion of calcium ions by the kidneys and also lead to a transient slight increase in the concentration of calcium in the blood serum in the absence of a history of disturbances in its metabolism. Hyperkalygemia may indicate latent hyperparathyroidism. Before studying the function of the parathyroid glands, thiazides should be discontinued. It has been proven that thiazide diuretics increase the excretion of magnesium ions by the kidneys, which can lead to hypomagnesemia. In patients in whom vascular tone and renal function depend to a large extent on the activity of the RAAS (for example, in patients with severe chronic heart failure or impaired renal function, including renal artery stenosis), treatment with other drugs affecting the RAAS is associated with the possibility of developing acute arterial hypotension, azotemia, oliguria or, in rare cases, acute renal failure. The possibility of a similar effect cannot be excluded when using angiotensin P receptor antagonists. There is an increased risk of developing severe arterial hypotension and renal failure if a patient with bilateral renal artery stenosis or arterial stenosis of a single functioning kidney receives therapy with drugs that affect the RAAS. When using the drug Cardosal® plus in patients with impaired renal function, it is recommended to periodically monitor the concentration of potassium ions, creatinine and uric acid in the blood serum. There is no experience with the use of olmesartan medoxomil in patients with recent kidney transplantation or in patients with end-stage renal impairment. In patients with limited renal function, taking thiazide diuretics may be accompanied by azotemia. With obvious progression of renal failure, it is necessary to reconsider therapy and decide on the abolition of diuretics. As with any antihypertensive drug, excessive reduction of blood pressure in patients with coronary artery disease or cerebrovascular insufficiency can lead to myocardial infarction or stroke. Thiazide diuretics may cause impaired glucose tolerance, as well as increased serum concentrations of cholesterol, triglycerides and uric acid. In patients with diabetes mellitus, it may be necessary to adjust the dose of insulin or oral hypoglycemic agent (see section Interactions with other drugs). When treated with thiazide diuretics, latent diabetes mellitus can manifest itself. There are reports that thiazide diuretics may precipitate an attack of gout and cause exacerbation of systemic lupus erythematosus. Hypersensitivity reactions to hydrochlorothiazide may be more likely to occur in patients with a history of allergies or bronchial asthma (history). Effect on the ability to drive vehicles and operate machinery The effect of the drug Cardosal® plus on the ability to drive vehicles and operate machinery has not been specifically studied, therefore, during treatment with Cardosal® plus, caution should be exercised when driving vehicles and engaging in potentially hazardous activities that require increased concentration attention and speed of psychomotor reactions. Overdose Symptoms: in case of an overdose of olmesartan medoxomil, a pronounced decrease in blood pressure is most likely, as well as tachycardia, bradycardia, nausea, drowsiness; in case of an overdose of hydrochlorothiazide - symptoms of electrolyte deficiency (hypokalemia, hypochloremia, hyponatremia) and dehydration due to excessive diuresis. Treatment: gastric lavage and/or intake of activated charcoal is recommended; therapy aimed at correcting dehydration and water-electrolyte imbalances. If there is a pronounced decrease in blood pressure, it is recommended to place the patient in a horizontal position, raising his legs, and carry out therapy aimed at replenishing blood volume. Hemodialysis is not effective. Drug interactions of Olmesartan medoxomil It is not recommended to use it together with potassium-sparing diuretics, potassium preparations, salt substitutes containing potassium, or other drugs that can increase the concentration of potassium in the blood serum (for example, heparin) - an increase in the concentration of potassium in the blood serum is possible. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including acetylsalicylic acid in doses greater than 3 g/day, as well as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor antagonists may act synergistically to reduce glomerular filtration. With the simultaneous use of NSAIDs and angiotensin II receptor antagonists, there may be a risk of developing acute renal failure, therefore monitoring of renal function at the beginning of treatment, as well as regular intake of sufficient fluids, is recommended. However, simultaneous treatment may reduce the antihypertensive effect of angiotensin II receptor antagonists, leading to a partial loss of their therapeutic effectiveness. When used simultaneously with antacids (magnesium and aluminum hydroxides), a moderate decrease in the bioavailability of olmesartan medoxomil is possible. There are reports of a reversible increase in serum lithium concentrations and toxicity during concomitant use of lithium preparations with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor antagonists, therefore the use of olmesartan medoxomil in combination with lithium preparations is not recommended. If it is necessary to use appropriate combined therapy, regular control of the concentration of lithium in the blood serum is recommended. In rare cases, ACE inhibitors can enhance the hypoglycemic effect of insulin and hypoglycemic agents for oral administration (for example, sulfonyl gross derivatives) in patients with diabetes. In these cases, with the simultaneous use of ACE inhibitors, a decrease in the dose of the hypoglycemic agent for oral and insulin is required. Hylorotiazide glucocorticosteroids, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), amphotericin B (parenterally), carbenoksolon, penicillin G sodium salt, salicylic acid derivatives: while they are used with hydrochlorotiazide, an increase in electrolyte loss, especially the development of hypokalism. Simultaneous intake of ion -exchange drugs (steering wheel, rhinoma) reduces the absorption of hydrochlorotiazide. With the simultaneous use of hydrochlorotiazide with calcium salts, it is possible to increase the concentration of calcium in the blood serum, due to a decrease in its excretion. If it is necessary to prescribe calcium preparations, it should be controlled by its concentration in the blood serum and correctly adjust its dose. With the simultaneous use of hydrochlorotiazide with cardiac glycosides, arrhythmias are possible. Medicines capable of calling Ari (“Torsades des Pointes”) (a special form of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia with an excitement, spindle-shaped configuration of ventricular complexes in combination with an increase or decrease in the amplitude of the QRS complex, which can lead to ventricular fibrillation or asystole) : из-за риска развития гипокалиемии требуется осторожность при одновременном применении гидрохлоротиазида с некоторыми антиаритмическими средствами (хинидин, гидрохинидин, дизопирамид, амиодарон, соталол, дофетилид, ибутилид), нейролептиками (тиоридазин, хлорпромазин, левомепромазин, трифлуоперазин, циамемазин, сульпирид, сультоприд, амисульприд Tiapid, Pimoside, Haloperidol, Dropperidol) and others (Bephopal, Cisapride, Depemanil Methyl Sulfate, Erythromycin for intravenous administration, halophantrin, mizolastine, nantamidin, sparfloxacin, terphenin, vincamine for intravenous administration), which are known that they can cause Ari. With the joint use of hydrochlorotiazide with non -trapping muscle relaxants (including so chocoucurine chloride) - strengthening the action of muscle relaxants. Tiazids can increase the risk of side effects of Amantadine. Tiaside diuretics treatment can disrupt glucose tolerance. With the simultaneous use of M-cholin blockors (atropine) and thiazides, due to the decrease in the motility of the gastrointestinal tract, the bioavailability of thiazide diuretics may increase. It may be required to reduce the dose of hypoglycemic agents for oral and insulin. Contragric agents (probenecid, sulfinpirazone, allopurinol): It may be necessary to correct the dose of the hypouricemic agent (increasing the dose of probenecide or sulfinpirazone), since hydrochlorotiazide can increase the concentration of uric acid in the blood serum. Simultaneous use with thiazide diuretics can increase the frequency of development of increased sensitivity to allopurinol. The action of sympathomy meters with the simultaneous use of thiazide diuretics can be weakened. Tiazide diuretics can reduce the excretion of cytotoxic agents with the kidneys and strengthen their myelosupressive effect. When taking salicylates in high doses, hydrochlorotiazide can enhance their toxic effect on the central nervous system. There are reports of single cases of hemolytic anemia while taking methyldopa with hydrochlorotiazide. The simultaneous use of cyclosporine with hydrochlorotiazide can increase the risk of hyperuricemia and exacerbation of gout. The simultaneous use of tetracyclines with thiazide diuretics increases the risk of increasing the concentration of urea caused by tetracyclines. This interaction does not apply to doxycycline. Olmesartan Medoxomil/ hydrochlorotiazide in combination simultaneously using lithium preparations with thiazide diuretics can increase the already increased risk of lithium intoxication due to ACE inhibitors, therefore, the joint use of the drug Cardosal® Plus and lithium drugs are not recommended. If such a combination is still necessary, then careful control of the concentration of lithium in the blood serum is also necessary. With the simultaneous use of Cardosal* Plus with Baclofen and Amifostin, an increase in antihypertensive effect is possible. With the simultaneous use of other antihypertensive agents, the hypotensive effect of the drug Cardosal® plus may intensify. Ethanol, barbiturates, narcotic analgesics or antidepressants when used with Cardosal® Plus can lead to aggravation of orthostatic hypotension. Storage conditions and periods
Store at a temperature not exceeding 30°C. Keep the medicine out of the reach of children! Shelf life: 3 years.
Interactions of the drug Cardosal
When used with other antihypertensive drugs, the effect of olmesartan medoxomil may be enhanced. When olmesartan medoxomil is used simultaneously with NSAIDs, its antihypertensive effect may be reduced and there may be a risk of acute renal failure. After therapy with antacids (magnesium-aluminum hydroxide), a decrease in the bioavailability of olmesartan medoxomil was noted. The combined use of warfarin and digoxin does not change the pharmacokinetics of olmesartan. It is not recommended to use olmesartan medoxomil with lithium preparations due to the increased toxicity of the latter. Due to the possibility of developing hyperkalemia, it is not recommended to use olmesartan medoxomil with potassium-sparing diuretics, drugs containing potassium, or with other drugs that can lead to an increase in serum potassium levels (for example, heparin). When using olmesartan medoxomil with pravastatin, no clinically significant interactions were observed. The interactions of olmesartan medoxomil with drugs that are metabolized by the cytochrome P450 enzyme have not been determined.
