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 sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Vascace.

Warnings and precautions

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking Vascace

-    if you have a heart problem. Vascace is not suitable for people with certain types of heart problem.

-    if you have had a stroke or have problems with the blood supply to your brain.

-    if you are taking an “angiotensin-receptor blockers” such as valsartan, telmisartan, irbesartan.

-    if you are taking aliskiren a drug used to lower high blood pressure.

-    if you are taking medicines to suppress the immune system.

-    if you have severe liver problems or if you develop jaundice.

-    if you have kidney problems or have a problem with the blood supply to your kidneys called renal artery stenosis.

-    if you are on kidney dialysis.

-    if you have recently been vomiting or have had diarrhoea.

-    if you are on a diet to control how much salt (sodium) you take in.

-    if you are planning to have treatment to reduce your allergy to bee or wasp stings (desensitization).

-    if you are planning to have an operation (including dental surgery). This is because some anaesthetics can lower your blood pressure and it may become too low.

-    if you have a build up of fluid in your abdomen (ascites).

-    if you have diabetes and are taking medicines to treat diabetes.

-    if you have a collagen vascular disease.
