Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Telzap Plus is an antihypertensive combination drug, which includes an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ARA II) - telmisartan and a thiazide diuretic - hydrochlorothiazide. Thanks to the combination of these active substances, Telzap Plus has a more pronounced antihypertensive effect, which allows lowering blood pressure (BP) to a greater extent than when each component is used as a monotherapy drug.
When Telzap Plus is taken in therapeutic doses 1 time per day, a smooth and effective decrease in blood pressure is noted.
Telmisartan
Telmisartan belongs to the specific ARA II (AT1 subtype), effective when taken orally. It is characterized by a high affinity for the AT1 subtype of angiotensin II receptors, through which the action of angiotensin II is carried out. The substance displaces angiotensin II from the binding to the receptor, without demonstrating any agonist activity towards the AT1 receptor, selectively and long-term binds to the latter. Does not show affinity for other receptors, including AT2 and other, less studied AT receptors. The functional significance of these receptors, as well as the result of their potential increased activation by angiotensin II due to an increase in the level of the latter under the influence of telmisartan, has not been studied.
The active substance reduces the plasma concentration of aldosterone in the blood, suppresses renin, does not interfere with the functioning of ion channels, does not inhibit the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) kininase II, which also destroys bradykinin, as a result of which violations caused by the activity of the latter can be avoided. Telmisartan at a daily dose of 80 mg in healthy volunteers almost completely suppresses the hypertensive effect of angiotensin II. This activity of the substance is observed for over 24 hours (it lasts up to 48 hours).
The antihypertensive effect of telmisartan appears within the first 3 hours after oral administration. Telzap Plus demonstrates a therapeutic effect within 24 hours, including for 4 hours before taking the next dose, which is confirmed by the data of daily blood pressure monitoring. This is also evidenced by measurements made at the time of maximum effect and immediately before taking the next dose (for dosages of 40 and 80 mg of the substance, the ratio of the residual effect to the maximum exceeds 80%). The greatest decrease in blood pressure is observed 4-8 weeks after the start of therapy and persists for a long period of treatment.
In patients with arterial hypertension, telmisartan lowers both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, without affecting the heart rate (HR). According to the results of clinical studies, the antihypertensive efficacy of the active substance is comparable to that of drugs of other classes, such as atenolol, amlodipine, hydrochlorothiazide, enalapril and lisinopril. If it is necessary to suddenly stop taking telmisartan, blood pressure gradually returns to its initial values without the development of withdrawal symptoms.
On the background of treatment with telmisartan, the appearance of dry cough was noted much less frequently than with the use of ACE inhibitors.
Hydrochlorothiazide
Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that affects the reabsorption of electrolytes in the renal tubules, which leads to an increase in the excretion of sodium and chloride ions in approximately equal amounts. The diuretic effect of the substance provides a decrease in the volume of circulating blood (BCC), an increase in the activity of blood plasma renin, an increase in the production of aldosterone with a further increase in the level of bicarbonate and potassium in the urine, as well as a decrease in the plasma level of the latter in the blood.
Concomitant use with telmisartan leads to a decrease in potassium loss caused by this diuretic, presumably due to blockade of the renin-angiotensin system (RAAS). After oral administration of hydrochlorothiazide, increased diuresis is noted after 2 hours, and the maximum effect after 4 hours, the effect lasts for about 6-12 hours.
In the course of epidemiological studies, it was found that long-term treatment with hydrochlorothiazide reduces the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
Pharmacokinetics
In healthy volunteers, the simultaneous use of telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide does not affect the pharmacokinetics of each of these active components of Telzap Plus.
Telmisartan
After oral administration, telmisartan is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, the maximum concentration of the substance (C max) is reached after 0.5-1.5 hours. When the substance is taken at a dose of 40 and 160 mg, the absolute bioavailability is 42 and 58%, respectively. Concomitant food intake slightly reduces the bioavailability of the drug, a decrease in the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) can range from 6% (40 mg dose) to 19% (160 mg dose), which does not lead to a decrease in the clinical efficacy of Telzap Plus. 3 hours after ingestion, the level of the substance in the blood plasma levels off, regardless of whether it was used with meals or on an empty stomach.
After oral administration, the pharmacokinetics of telmisartan is not linear; after repeated consumption, no significant cumulation in blood plasma was detected. The substance binds to plasma proteins, mainly albumin and alpha1-acid glycoprotein, by more than 99.5%. At equilibrium, the apparent volume of distribution (V dss) is approximately 500 liters.
Telmisartan is biotransformed by conjugation with glucuronic acid and with the formation of acylglucuronide, a pharmacologically inactive metabolite. After one dose of telmisartan labeled with 14 C, the acylglucuronide accounted for approximately 11% of the radioactivity. Cytochrome P450 isozymes do not participate in the metabolism of substances. After intravenous (iv) administration or oral administration of 14 C-labeled telmisartan, the predominant part of the dose (over 97%) is excreted in the bile through the intestines, and only a small amount is excreted by the kidneys (less than 2%). When taken orally, the total plasma clearance of the substance is more than 1500 ml / min, the half-life (T 1/2) is over 20 hours.
Hydrochlorothiazide
After oral use, C max of the substance in plasma is observed after approximately 1-3 hours. Considering the cumulative renal excretion of hydrochlorothiazide, its absolute bioavailability is ~ 60%. The connection of the substance with blood proteins is approximately 68%; V dss - 0.83-1.14 l / kg.
In humans, hydrochlorothiazide is not metabolized. The dose taken orally is almost completely excreted in the urine unchanged, including approximately 60% - during the first 48 hours. The renal clearance of hydrochlorothiazide is 250-300 ml / min, T 1/2 - 10-15 hours.
In women, the plasma level of telmisartan is 2–3 times higher than in men. Also, women have higher plasma concentrations of hydrochlorothiazide. However, these effects do not cause an increase in the hypotensive effect.
Indications for use
Telzap Plus is recommended for the treatment of arterial hypertension, in the absence of clinical effect with monotherapy with telmisartan or hydrochlorothiazide.

Overdose
Overdose cases of Telzap Plus have not been registered. Possible symptoms include signs of an overdose of individual components:
- telmisartan: the most pronounced are tachycardia and arterial hypotension, disorders such as dizziness, vomiting, bradycardia, increased serum creatinine levels, acute renal failure have also been recorded;
- hydrochlorothiazide: nausea, drowsiness, decreased electrolyte concentration (hypochloremia, hypokalemia), hypovolemia may occur; hypokalemia with the concomitant use of cardiac glycosides or certain antiarrhythmic drugs can cause muscle spasm and / or exacerbation of arrhythmias.
With the development of these reactions, careful monitoring of the patient's condition and the appointment of symptomatic and supportive therapy is necessary. The approach to the treatment of an overdose depends on the period of time that has elapsed after taking the excessive dose and the severity of the undesirable effects. It is recommended to induce vomiting and / or gastric lavage, take activated charcoal. The patient is placed on his back, legs lifted, if necessary, the BCC is replenished by intravenous administration of 0.9% sodium chloride solution. It is possible to use sympathomimetic drugs.
Telmisartan is not excreted by hemodialysis, and the degree of elimination of hydrochlorothiazide has not been determined.
special instructions
During treatment with hydrochlorothiazide, glucose tolerance may be impaired with the development of hypoglycemia in patients with diabetes mellitus, while the use of insulin or antidiabetic agents and telmisartan. It may be necessary to adjust the dose of antidiabetic drugs or insulin.
Hydrochlorothiazide can lead to disturbances in the water-electrolyte balance and changes in the acid-base state. Signs of these disorders include: general weakness, thirst, dry mouth, anxiety, drowsiness, lethargy, muscle weakness, muscle pain / cramps, decreased blood pressure, tachycardia, oliguria, nausea, vomiting.
During the treatment period, hyperkalemia may develop, the primary risk factors for its occurrence are:
- renal / heart failure (including in acute form), diabetes mellitus, age over 70 years;
- dehydration, metabolic acidosis, cytolysis syndrome (extensive trauma, rhabdomyolysis, acute limb ischemia);
- combination with one or more drugs that affect the RAAS and / or supplements that include potassium.
Patients at risk need to regularly monitor their plasma potassium levels.
Hydrochlorothiazide is able to reduce the excretion of calcium in the urine and lead to a slight temporary increase in the concentration of calcium in the blood plasma, without the appearance of any disturbances in its metabolism. Severe hypercalcemia may indicate the development of latent hyperparathyroidism; in this case, Telzap Plus should be discontinued prior to analysis of the functional activity of the parathyroid gland.
Telmisartan, like other ARA IIs, lowers blood pressure to a lesser extent in patients of the Negroid race, when compared with representatives of other races. This phenomenon is presumably associated with a greater predisposition to weakening renin activity in the population. During the post-registration study of the drug, functional disorders of the liver or its lesions were observed mainly in the Japanese, due to the high degree of their predisposition to these complications.
If photosensitivity reactions are observed while using Telzap Plus, it should be discontinued. If diuretic therapy is necessary, it is recommended to take measures to protect exposed skin from exposure to the sun or artificial ultraviolet radiation.
The use of hydrochlorothiazide can cause an idiosyncratic reaction that causes the development of acute transient myopia and acute angle-closure glaucoma. Symptoms of these complications include developing (in most cases in the period from several hours to several weeks after the start of the course) eye pain or a sudden decrease in visual acuity. If such reactions occur, it is necessary to stop taking Telzap Plus. A history of allergic reactions to sulfonamides / penicillin exacerbates the risk of acute angle-closure glaucoma.
Influence on the ability to drive vehicles and complex mechanisms
It is required with extreme caution during Telzap Plus treatment to drive vehicles, as well as any other complex and potentially dangerous mechanisms, since drowsiness or dizziness may occur while taking the drug.
Application during pregnancy and lactation
During pregnancy, the use of ARA II is not recommended in the first trimester and is contraindicated in the II – III trimesters. There is no sufficient data on the use of Telzap Plus in pregnant women.
In animal studies, the reproductive toxicity of telmisartan was found. Patients planning a pregnancy should choose an alternative antihypertensive drug that has a proven safety profile during pregnancy. When the fact of pregnancy is established, ARA II therapy must be urgently discontinued and, if necessary, started with alternative treatment.
There is limited experience with hydrochlorothiazide treatment during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester. It has been established that this substance passes through the hematoplacental barrier. Given the pharmacological mechanism of action of the drug, its use during the II – III trimesters of pregnancy can reduce placental blood flow and provoke the development of thrombocytopenia in the fetus / newborn, jaundice, and imbalance in water and electrolyte balance. For this reason, pregnant women should not take hydrochlorothiazide for the treatment of essential hypertension, except in rare situations when no other treatment is possible.
Telzap Plus is contraindicated during lactation.
The effect of the drug on human fertility has not been established.
Pediatric use
Telzap Plus is contraindicated in patients under 18 years of age due to the lack of data on its effectiveness and safety.
With impaired renal function
The use of Telzap Plus tablets in patients with severe renal impairment (CC below 30 ml / min) is contraindicated.
In the presence of mild to moderate renal impairment, dose adjustment is not required. In this case, the agent should be taken with caution, periodically monitoring the indicators of renal function, as well as the level of potassium, uric acid and creatinine in the blood plasma. The experience of using Telzap Plus in patients with renal insufficiency (CC more than 30 ml / min) is limited, but there is no confirmation of the appearance of adverse reactions from the kidneys, there is no need for dose adjustment.
With impaired renal function, the risk of azotemia associated with the intake of thiazide diuretics is aggravated.
For violations of liver function
The use of Telzap Plus is contraindicated in the presence of impaired liver function.
Use in the elderly
Persons over 70 years old should take Telzap Plus with caution; correction of the dosage regimen is not required for patients of this age category.
Drug interactions
- preparations containing aliskiren; ACE inhibitors: the combination of these funds with telmisartan is contraindicated, since it aggravates the risk of hyperkalemia, arterial hypotension, decreased renal function (including the development of acute renal failure) in comparison with the use of each agent separately; if it is necessary to implement this combination (double blockade of the RAAS), it is required to evaluate each case individually and conduct careful monitoring of renal function, water and electrolyte balance and blood pressure indicators;
- digoxin: recorded an average increase in its C max (49%) and C min (20%); it is required to control the level of digoxin in the blood at the beginning and at the end of therapy with telmisartan, as well as when selecting the dose of the latter;
- penicillin G sodium salt, carbenoxolone, amphotericin, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), corticosteroids, laxatives, potassium-uretic diuretics, salicylic acid and its derivatives (drugs leading to potassium deficiency and hypokalemia): possible increased loss of potassium from blood plasma it is necessary to control its content;
- ACE inhibitors, ARA II, potassium-sparing diuretics, heparin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), selective COX-2 inhibitors, potassium-containing table salt substitutes, cyclosporine / tacrolimus, trimethoprim (drugs that increase the level of potassium in the blood plasma) the threat of hyperkalemia, it is required to control the level of potassium in the plasma;
- lithium: a reversible increase in its concentration in blood plasma and an increase in the toxic effect are possible; monitoring of the plasma concentration of lithium is necessary;
- NSAIDs (including acetylsalicylic acid in doses not exceeding 3 g / day; non-selective NSAIDs, COX-2 inhibitors): there may be a weakening of the antihypertensive effect of ARA II, as well as the diuretic and natriuretic effect of thiazide diuretics; this combination requires special care, especially in elderly patients; monitoring of renal function is recommended;
- ibuprofen, paracetamol: no clinically significant effect is observed;
- quinidine, hydroquinidine, disopyramide (class IA antiarrhythmics); ibutilide, dofetilide, sotalol, amiodarone (class III antiarrhythmics); thioridazine, levomepromazine, cyamemazine, chlorpromazine, trifluoperazine, sultopride, sulpiride, tiapride, amisulpride, droperidol, haloperidol, pimozide (neuroleptics); diphemanil, cisapride, bepridil, erythromycin (i.v.), pentamidine, halofantrine, sparfloxacin, mizolastine, vincamine (i.v.), terfenadine, and other drugs whose action depends on changes in serum potassium levels, as well as flutter-inducing agents and ventricular fibrillation: it is recommended to periodically monitor the plasma concentration of potassium and conduct an ECG (hypokalemia is a predisposing factor for the occurrence of ventricular tachycardia of the pirouette type);
- other antihypertensive drugs: there is an increase in their action;
- cardiac glycosides: arrhythmias associated with hypokalemia / hypomagnesemia due to hydrochlorothiazide may occur;
- colestipol, cholestyramine: absorption of hydrochlorothiazide decreases;

- non-depolarizing muscle relaxants (tubocurarine): their effect is enhanced;
- anti-gout drugs (allopurinol, sulfinpyrazone, probenecid): an increase in the level of uric acid in the blood plasma is possible; dosages of sulfinpyrazone and probenecid may need to be changed; the combination of a thiazide diuretic with allopurinol can increase the incidence of hypersensitivity reactions to the latter;
- pressor amines (norepinephrine / norepinephrine): their effect is weakened;
- calcium salts: calcium excretion decreases and its plasma level in the blood increases; the concentration of calcium should be monitored;
- glycyrrhizic acid (licorice root): the risk of hypokalemia increases;
- amantadine: the threat of the development of adverse reactions of this drug increases;
- corticosteroids (for systemic use): the antihypertensive effect of telmisartan is weakened;
- diazoxide, β-adrenergic receptor blockers: their hyperglycemic effect increases;
