1. WHAT VASCACE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Vascace contains a medicine called cilazapril. This belongs to a group of medicines called ‘ACE inhibitors' (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors).
Vascace is used to treat the following:
• High blood pressure (hypertension)
• Chronic (long-term) heart failure.
It works by making your blood vessels relax and widen. This helps to lower your blood pressure. It also makes it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body if you have chronic heart failure.
Your doctor may give you other medicines as well as Vascace to help treat your condition.
2. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU TAKE VASCACE
Do not take Vascace
• if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to cilazapril or any of the other ingredients of Vascace (listed in section 6: Contents of the pack and other information).
• if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to other ACE inhibitor medicines. These include captopril, enalapril, lisinopril and ramipril.
• if you have had a serious side effect called angioedema after taking other ACE inhibitor medicines, hereditary angioedema or angioedema of unknown cause. The signs include swelling of the face, lips, mouth or tongue. There is an increased risk of angioedema if you are taking some oral medicines to treat diabetes or medicines to suppress the immune system.
• if you are more than 3 months pregnant. (It is also better to avoid Vascace in early pregnancy - see the sections on ‘Pregnancy' and ‘Breast-feeding'.)
• if you have diabetes mellitus or impaired kidney function and you are treated with aliskiren a drug used to lower high blood pressure
Do not take Vascace if any of the above apply to you. If you are not

You must tell your doctor if you think you are (or might become) pregnant. Vascace is not recommended in early pregnancy and must not be taken if you are more than 3 months pregnant, as it may cause serious harm to your baby if used at that stage (see the sections on ‘Pregnancy' and ‘Breast-feeding').
Children
Vascace is not recommended for use in children.
Other medicines and Vascace
