Aprovasc 150/5mg Tablet 28s (Box)

Aprovasc 150/5mg Tablet is an antihypertensive medicine that belongs to a combination drug class known as angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) with calcium channel blockers, and it contains two active ingredients working together: irbesartan 150 mg and amlodipine 5 mg. If you or a loved one has been prescribed this, it's worth knowing upfront that some of the more commonly reported effects include swelling of the ankles or feet (peripheral edema), dizziness, headache, and a feeling of tiredness or fatigue. This is a prescription-only medicine, so it should only be taken exactly as your doctor has advised, and it should never be started or stopped without medical guidance, particularly because it's not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Many people find it reassuring to know that this fixed-dose combination is simply a convenient way of taking two well-established blood pressure medicines together in a single daily tablet, rather than as two separate pills. As always, keep your doctor informed of any other medicines, supplements, or health conditions you have so your treatment can be monitored appropriately.

The usual dose of Aprovasc is one tablet daily, with your doctor determining the right strength based on your individual response and blood pressure readings. The maximum recommended dose across the Aprovasc range is 300 mg/10 mg per day, and any dose changes should only be made under medical supervision.

• Swelling of the ankles, feet, or face (peripheral or facial edema)
• Dizziness or lightheadedness, especially when standing up

• Nausea, upper abdominal discomfort, or constipation
• Flushing or a warm sensation of the skin

Aprovasc 150/5mg Tablet is taken by mouth, generally once a day, and can be swallowed with or without food. It should be taken at around the same time each day to help maintain steady blood pressure control, and the tablet should be swallowed whole rather than crushed or chewed unless your doctor or pharmacist has advised otherwise.

Aprovasc 150/5mg Tablet generally remains stable until the expiry date printed on the outer carton and blister packaging when stored correctly and unopened. Always check the expiry date before use and avoid taking any tablet past this date.

Each Aprovasc 150/5mg tablet contains irbesartan 150 mg, an angiotensin II receptor antagonist, and amlodipine 5 mg (as amlodipine besilate 7 mg), a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker. Together, these two active ingredients work through complementary pathways to help manage blood pressure.

Known hypersensitivity to irbesartan, amlodipine, other dihydropyridine medicines, or any component of the tablet
Cardiogenic or other forms of shock
Significant obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract, such as clinically significant aortic stenosis
Unstable angina (other than Prinzmetal's/variant angina)
Haemodynamically unstable heart failure following a recent heart attack
Severe hypotension (very low blood pressure)
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Should not be combined with aliskiren-containing medicines in patients with diabetes or moderate-to-severe kidney impairment

Combining with ACE inhibitors or aliskiren is generally not recommended and is contraindicated in certain patients (e.g. those with diabetic kidney disease), due to a higher risk of low blood pressure, high potassium, and reduced kidney function
Potassium-sparing diuretics, potassium supplements, or salt substitutes containing potassium may raise blood potassium levels when combined with this medicine
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including certain pain relievers, may reduce the blood-pressure-lowering effect and increase the risk of kidney problems, particularly in older adults or those with reduced kidney function
Lithium levels may rise when taken together with this medicine, so this combination is generally not recommended
Strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors (such as certain antifungal or antibiotic medicines) may increase amlodipine levels in the blood, requiring closer monitoring
Grapefruit and grapefruit juice are not recommended, as they may increase the blood-pressure-lowering effect of the amlodipine component
Simvastatin doses may need to be limited when taken alongside this medicine, so let your doctor know if you're on a statin
Always inform your doctor or pharmacist of all other prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, and supplements you're taking
