Source-linked reading points

  • All four tablets are scored, but a score is an official appearance clue—not web permission for everyone to split, assemble strengths or replace one strength with two tablets.
  • The label has a boxed warning for fetal toxicity. If pregnant, possibly pregnant or planning pregnancy, promptly contact the responsible clinician; do not continue, stop or self-switch from a webpage alone.
  • Co-use with aliskiren is contraindicated in patients with diabetes. Potassium supplements or salt substitutes, potassium-sparing diuretics, lithium, NSAID pain medicines and another renin-angiotensin-system medicine require review of the complete list, kidney function and potassium. The site does not decide co-use or invent a separation interval.
  • Sudden swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat, trouble breathing or swallowing, fainting or another severe acute feature may be an emergency. Use local emergency services immediately and take every medicine pack.
