Indications

COTAREG, comprimé pelliculé, contient deux substances actives appelées valsartan et hydrochlorothiazide. Ces deux substances aident à contrôler la pression artérielle élevée (hypertension). · Le valsartan appartient à la famille des antagonistes des récepteurs à l’angiotensine II qui aident à contrôler l’hypertension artérielle. L’angiotensine II est une substance présente dans l’organisme, et elle provoque le rétrécissement des vaisseaux sanguins, ce qui conduit à une augmentation de la pression artérielle. Le valsartan agit en bloquant l’effet de l’angiotensine II. Ceci entraîne un relâchement des vaisseaux sanguins et une diminution de la pression artérielle. · L’hydrochlorothiazide appartient à une classe de médicaments appelés diurétiques thiazidiques. L’hydrochlorothiazide augmente le débit urinaire, ce qui fait également baisser la pression artérielle. COTAREG est indiqué dans le traitement de l’hypertension artérielle qui n’est pas suffisamment contrôlée par une des substances administrée seule. L’hypertension artérielle augmente l’effort fourni par le cœur et les artères. En l’absence de traitement, l’hypertension peut endommager les vaisseaux sanguins du cerveau, du cœur et des reins et peut entraîner un accident vasculaire cérébral, une insuffisance cardiaque ou une insuffisance rénale. L’hypertension artérielle augmente le risque de crise cardiaque. Le fait d’abaisser votre pression artérielle jusqu’à un niveau normal permet de diminuer le risque d’apparition de ces pathologies.
