Overview
Camlotel 5/40 mg Tablet contains a fixed-dose combination of Amlodipine Besilate and Telmisartan, manufactured by Square Pharmaceuticals PLC. It combines a calcium channel blocker and an ARB for the management of hypertension in patients requiring dual antihypertensive therapy for adequate blood pressure control.
Dosage and Administration
Usually 1 tablet once daily, with or without food, or as prescribed by the physician. Consistent timing of administration is recommended.
Interaction
Concomitant use with other antihypertensives, diuretics, or NSAIDs may alter blood pressure control or renal function. Potassium-sparing diuretics or potassium supplements may cause hyperkalaemia with telmisartan. CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase amlodipine levels; avoid grapefruit juice.
Contraindications
Contraindicated in pregnancy (second and third trimesters), biliary obstruction (telmisartan is hepatically metabolised), and known hypersensitivity to either component.
Side Effects
Peripheral oedema, dizziness, headache, flushing, and sinusitis. Hypotension may occur, particularly in volume-depleted patients.
Pregnancy and Lactation
Contraindicated in the second and third trimesters due to risk of foetal harm from telmisartan; avoid during breastfeeding.
Precautions and Warnings
Monitor renal function and electrolytes, especially in renal impairment or with concomitant diuretic use. Use with caution in patients with severe hepatic impairment, as telmisartan is primarily eliminated via biliary excretion.
Storage Conditions
Store below 30°C, in a dry place, protected from light and moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.
