Prestarium Forte Combi side effects
The administration of Perindopril (Prestarium Forte Combi) inhibits the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis and tends to reduce the potassium loss caused by Indapamide (Prestarium Forte Combi). Two percent (2%) of the patients on treatment with Prestarium Forte Combi 2.5 mg/0.625 mg, 4% of the patients on treatment with Prestarium Forte Combi 5 mg/1.25 mg and 6% of the patients on treatment with Prestarium Forte Combi 10 mg/2.5 mg experience hypokalaemia (potassium level <3.4 micromol/L).
The following undesirable effects could be observed during treatment and ranked under the following frequency: Very common (≥1/10); common (≥1/100, <1/10); uncommon (≥1/1000, <1/100); rare (≥1/10000, <1/1000), very rare (<1/10000), not known (cannot be estimated from the available data).
Blood and the Lymphatic System Disorders: Very Rare: Thrombocytopenia, leucopenia/neutropenia, agranulocytosis, aplastic anaemia, haemolytic anaemia. Anaemia has been reported with ACE inhibitors in specific circumstances (patients who have had kidney transplants, patients undergoing haemodialysis).
Psychiatric Disorders: Uncommon: Mood or sleep disturbances.
Nervous System Disorders: Common: Paraesthesia, headache, dizziness, vertigo. Very Rare: Confusion.
Eye Disorders: Common: Vision disturbance.
Ear and Labyrinth Disorders: Common: Tinnitus.
Vascular Disorders: Common: Hypotension whether orthostatic or not.
Cardiac Disorders: Very Rare: Arrhythmia including bradycardia, ventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, angina pectoris and myocardial infarction possibly secondary to excessive hypotension in high-risk patients.
Respiratory, Thoracic and Mediastinal Disorders: Common: A dry cough has been reported with the use of ACE inhibitors. It is characterised by its persistence and by its disappearance when treatment is withdrawn. An iatrogenic aetiology should be considered in the presence of this symptom. Dypsnoea. Uncommon: Bronchospasm. Very Rare: Eosinophilic pneumonia, rhinitis.
Gastrointestinal Disorders: Common: Constipation, dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dysgeusia, dyspepsia, diarrhoea, epigastric pain, anorexia, abdominal pains, taste disturbance. Very Rare: Pancreatitis.
Hepato-Biliary Disorders: Very Rare: Hepatitis either cytolytic or cholestatic. Not known: In case of hepatic insufficiency, there is a possibility of onset of hepatic encephalopathy.
Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: Common: Rash, pruritus, maculopapular eruptions. Uncommon: Angioedema of face, extremities, lips, mucous membranes, tongue, glottis and/or larynx, urticaria. Hypersensitivity reactions, mainly dermatological, in subjects with a predisposition to allergic and asthmatic reactions. Purpura, possible aggravation of preexisting acute disseminated lupus erythematosus. Very Rare: Erythema multiforme, toxic epidermic necrolysis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Cases of photosensitivity reactions have been reported.
Musculoskeletal, Connective Tissue and Bone Disorders: Common: Muscle cramps.
Renal and Urinary Disorders: Uncommon: Renal insufficiency. Very Rare: Acute renal failure.
Reproductive System and Breast Disorders: Uncommon: Impotence.
General Disorders and Administration Site Conditions: Common: Asthenia. Uncommon: Sweating.
Investigations: Potassium depletion with particularly serious reduction in levels of potassium in some at risk populations. Reduced sodium levels with hypovolaemia causing dehydration and orthostatic hypotension. Increase in uric acid levels and in blood glucose levels during treatment. Slight increase in urea and in plasma creatinine levels, reversible when treatment is stopped. This increase is more frequent in cases of renal artery stenosis, arterial hypertension treated with diuretics, renal insufficiency. Increased levels of potassium, usually transitory. Rare: Raised plasma calcium levels.
