  • Renoprotective Effect of the Addition of Losartan to Ongoing Treatment with an Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor in Type-2 Diabetic Patients with Nephropathy

To many patients who are nonresponsive to monotherapy with these agents, combination therapy appears to be a good treatment option. In the present study, we examined the effects of the addition of an ARB (losartan) followed by titration upon addition and at 3 and 6 months (n=14) and the addition of an ACE-I followed by titration upon addition and at 3 and 6 months (n=20) to the drug regimen treatment protocol in type 2 diabetic patients with nephropathy for whom more than 3-month administration of an ACE-I or the combination of an ACE-I plus a conventional antihypertensive was inef- fective to achieve a blood pressure (BP) of 130/80 mmHg and to reduce urinary albumin to <30 mg/day. Dur- ing the 12-month treatment, addition of losartan or addition of an ACE-I to the treatment protocol reduced systolic blood pressure (SBP) by 10% and 12%, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) by 7% and 4%, and urinary albumin excretion by 38% and 20% of the baseline value, respectively.

WHAT ADAPTUS/DELAMAN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR Adaptus/Delaman is Adaptus/Delaman is a combination of two active substances, delapril hydrochloride and manidipine hydrochloride. Delapril hydrochloride belongs to a group of medicines known as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitor medicines). Angiotensin II is a substance produced in the body that causes the narrowing of blood vessels. This results in an increase in blood pressure. Delapril hydrochloride prevents the production of Angiotensin II and so causes a lowering of blood pressure. Manidipine hydrochloride is one of a group of medicines called calcium-channel blockers that blocks calcium flow into smooth muscle cells of the blood vessels causing the blood vessels to relax and a corresponding reduction in the blood pressure.

  • Manidipine and Delapril 30-10Mg-Smpc (3.0)
    SUMMARY OF PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS 1. NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT ADAPTUS/DELAMAN 30 mg + 10 mg tablets 2. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION Each tablet contains 30 mg of delapril hydrochloride and 10 mg of manidipine hydrochloride. Excipients with known effect: 67.60 mg lactose monohydrate/tablet 0.08 mg sunset yellow (E110) Aluminum lake/tablet For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1. 3. PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Tablet. Salmon-pink, round, scored tablet. The tablet can be divided into equal doses 4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 Therapeutic indications Treatment of essential hypertension. ADAPTUS/DELAMAN fixed dose combination (30 mg /10 mg) is indicated in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled on delapril or manidipine alone (see section 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 5.1) 4.2 Posology and method of administration Posology Dosage recommendations for adults The usual posology is one tablet of ADAPTUS/DELAMAN once a day. Individual dose titration with the components (delapril 30 mg and manidipine 10 mg) is recommended. If clinically acceptable, a direct switch from delapril or manidipine monotherapy to the fixed combination may be considered (see section 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 5.1). Special care should be exercised when ADAPTUS/DELAMAN is used in elderly patients and patients with renal failure or hepatic insufficiency and dose titration should be performed using the single components delapril and manidipine according to the following approach: Elderly patients: considering the possible impairment of renal function and the slowing down of metabolic processes in elderly patients; dose titration must be approached with caution.

  • Combined Use of Medicines Affecting the Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS) to Be Restricted – CHMP Endorses PRAC Recommendation EMA/294911/2014 Page 2/4
    23 May 2014 EMA/294911/2014 Combined use of medicines affecting the renin- angiotensin system (RAS) to be restricted – CHMP endorses PRAC recommendation The European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has endorsed restrictions on combining different classes of medicines that act on the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), a hormone system that controls blood pressure and the volume of fluids in the body. These medicines (called RAS-acting agents) belong to three main classes: angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs, sometimes known as sartans), angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE- inhibitors) and direct renin inhibitors such as aliskiren. Combination of medicines from any two of these classes is not recommended and, in particular, patients with diabetes-related kidney problems (diabetic nephropathy) should not be given an ARB with an ACE-inhibitor. Where combination of these medicines (dual blockade) is considered absolutely necessary, it must be carried out under specialist supervision with close monitoring of kidney function, fluid and salt balance and blood pressure. This would include the licensed use of the ARBs candesartan or valsartan as add- on therapy to ACE-inhibitors in patients with heart failure who require such a combination. The combination of aliskiren with an ARB or ACE-inhibitor is strictly contraindicated in those with kidney impairment or diabetes. The CHMP opinion confirms recommendations made by the Agency’s Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC) in April 2014, following assessment of evidence from several large studies in patients with various pre-existing heart and circulatory disorders, or with type 2 diabetes. These studies found that combination of an ARB with an ACE-inhibitor was associated with an increased risk of hyperkalaemia (increased potassium in the blood), kidney damage or low blood pressure compared with using either medicine alone.
