Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
Vazario H is a combined drug (medicament) for the treatment of hypertension . Valsartan - angiotensin II receptor blocker Acting solely on receptors that are responsible for a ngiotenzin II. He actively participates in the regulation of cardiovascular function , Wherein without blocking and without binding other hormone receptors or ion channels.
Hydrochlorothiazide - thiazide diuretic (a diuretic) is antihypertensive agents Which reduces renal reabsorption of electrolytes and increases the excretion chlorine, sodium, potassium, bicarbonate, magnesium and water as well as increases the content Renin in blood plasma.
The combination of these two agents provides a more pronounced hypotensive effect Than their use alone.
Valsartan rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, the extent of absorption is variable. The absolute bioavailability - 23%. Plasma protein binding occurs at 94-97%. Intestinal excretion occurs mainly (83%) and kidneys (13%) largely unaltered.
Hydrochlorothiazide also has rapid absorption. Tmax is reached in about 120 minutes. The bioavailability at the level of 60-80%. T1 / 2 ranges from 6 to 15 hours. Excreted by the kidneys by 95% unchanged and as metabolites by 4%, so the pharmacokinetics Hydrochlorothiazide largely depends on the renal function.
Systemic bioavailability Hydrochlorothiazide when co-administered with Valsartan It decreased by about 30%. On the other hand, combining the use of Hydrochlorothiazide It has no significant effect on the pharmacokinetics Valsartan . This reaction does not affect the efficiency Vazario H, but rather marked antihypertensive effect of the combination that exceeds the effect of each drug alone.

Cooperation
The joint appointment of preparations and products containing potassium Should be careful and watch out for concentration Potassium in blood.
Parallel reception Glibenclamide, cimetidine, indomethacin, atenolol, furosemide, digoxin, warfarin, hydrochlorothiazide, amlodipine It does not lead to significant interaction with Vasari N.
Other means of treatment of hypertension may enhance the antihypertensive effect Valsartan.
Prolonged therapy with NSAIDs may reduce the hypotensive and diuretic effects of the drug and lead to a violation renal function.
Admission Vasari N may affect glucose tolerance, requiring dose adjustment hypoglycemic drugs.
Metformin from Hydrochlorothiazide should be used with caution because of the possible development of lactic acidosis.
In appointing Methyldopa there may be cases of hemolytic anemia.
Simultaneous reception thiazide diuretics It may lead to increased hypoglycemic effects Diazoxide, side effects of Amantadine, increase sensitivity Allopurinol And reduce urinary excretion of cytotoxic drugs ( Methotrexate, cyclophosphamide etc.) and an increase in their myelosuppressive action.
In a joint reception with holinoblokatorami ( Atropine, Biperiden ) Increased bioavailability Hydrochlorothiazide.
Kolestiramin reduces the absorption of Hydrochlorothiazide.
Cyclosporine Vasari and N increase the risk of hyperuricemia and development symptoms of type podagraticheskih.
