Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to perindopril, indapamide, amlodipine, other sulfonamides, dihydropyridine derivatives, any other ACE inhibitor. Patients w/ untreated decompensated heart failure; history of angioedema (Quincke's oedema) associated w/ previous ACE inhibitor therapy; hereditary/idiopathic angioedema; hypokalaemia; severe hypotension; cardiogenic shock; left ventricle outflow tract obstruction eg, high grade aortic stenosis; haemodynamically unstable heart failure after acute MI. Significant bilateral renal artery stenosis or artery stenosis to single functioning kidney. Extracorporeal treatments leading to blood contact w/ -ve charged surfaces. Concomitant use w/ aliskiren-containing products in patients w/ DM or renal impairment (GFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2); sacubitril/valsartan. Dialysis patients; hepatic encephalopathy. Severe renal (CrCl <30 mL/min) & hepatic impairment. 2nd & 3rd trimesters of pregnancy. 10 mg/2.5 mg/5 mg & 10 mg/2.5 mg/10 mg: Moderate renal impairment (CrCl 30-60 mL/min).
Special Precautions
Hypersensitivity/angioedema; anaphylactoid reactions during desensitization & LDL apheresis. History of sulfonamide or penicillin allergy. Discontinue use if hepatic encephalopathy, jaundice or marked elevations of hepatic enzymes; photosensitivity reactions; choroidal effusion w/ visual field defect, transient myopia, acute angle-closure glaucoma occur. Not suitable for initial therapy. Not recommended in dual blockade of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system; primary aldosteronism; bilateral renal artery stenosis or artery stenosis to single functioning kidney. Not to be used concomitantly in patients w/ diabetic nephropathy.

Black patients. Positive reaction in doping tests. Monitor water & electrolytes (plasma Na, K, Ca, Mg) balance, blood glucose regularly; periodically monitor WBC counts during therapy. Discontinue use 1 day prior to surgery. Not to be initiated until 36 hr after sacubitril/valsartan last dose. Not recommended in combination w/ lithium, K-sparing diuretics, K supplements or K-containing salt substitutes. Concomitant use w/ allopurinol or procainamide; mTOR inhibitors eg, sirolimus, everolimus, temsirolimus; other NEP inhibitors eg, racecadotril; gliptins eg, linagliptin, saxagliptin, sitagliptin, vildagliptin.

Increased risk of severe anaphylactoid reactions w/ extracorporeal treatments. Increased risk of angioedema w/ sacubitril/valsartan, racecadotril, mTOR inhibitors eg, sirolimus, everolimus, temsirolimus; gliptins eg, linagliptin, saxagliptin, sitagliptin, vildagliptin. Increased antihypertensive effect & risk of orthostatic hypotension w/ imipramine-like antidepressants eg, TCAs, neuroleptics. Additive effect w/ IV amphotericin B, systemic gluco- & mineralocorticoids, tetracosactide, stimulant laxatives. Additive BP-lowering effect w/ other antihypertensives. Reduced antihypertensive effect w/ corticosteroids, tetracosactide; sympathomimetics. Reversible increased serum conc & toxicity of lithium. Increased antihypertensive effects w/ baclofen. Attenuated antihypertensive effects w/ NSAIDs eg, ASA, COX-2 inhibitors & non-selective NSAIDs. Increased risk of worsened renal function & CV morbidity & mortality w/ aliskiren. Higher frequency of hypotension, syncope, hyperkalaemia & worsened renal function w/ ARB. Increased risk of angioneurotic oedema w/ estramustine. Additive hyperkalaemic effect w/ K-sparing drugs eg, triamterene, amiloride; K-salts. Increased blood-glucose lowering effects w/ antidiabetics eg, insulin, oral hypoglycemics.
