Description Aliskiren is an anti-hypertensive (blood pressure lowering) medicine. It works by decreasing substances in the body that narrow blood vessels and raise blood pressure. It is chemically, (2S,4S,5S,7S)-5-amino-N-(3-amino-2,2-dimethyl-3-oxopropyl)-4-hydroxy-7-[[4-methoxy-3-(3-methoxypropoxy)phenyl]methyl]-8-methyl-2-propan-2-ylnonanamide.
Indication/Disease It is used to treat hypertension, renal impairment and hepatic impairment
Pharmacodynamics Aliskiren shows high specificity for human renin, with almost no inhibitory effect against other aspartic peptidases such as cathepsin D and pepsin. Although aliskiren also exhibits high affinity for primate renin, it is significantly less active against renin from dog, rat, rabbit, pig and cat. This high potency for human renin compensates for the relatively low oral bioavailability of the drug.
Mechanism of Action Renin inhibitor that inhibits the conversion of angiotensinogen to angiotensin I. The decrease in antiotensin I causes a decrease in angiotensin II, a potent blood pressure elevating peptide.
Toxicity It can cause injury and death to the developing fetus
Metabolism Metabolized by CYP3A4
Absorption Poorly absorbed; oral bioavailability is about 2.5%.

Brand Name Tekamlo
Company Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation
Brand Discription Aliskiren: Renin inhibitor; blocks effect of increased renin levels, thereby decreasing feedback loop and reducing plasma renin activity, angiotensin I, and angiotensin II. Amlodipine: Calcium channel blocker; inhibits extracellular Ca ions across the membranes of myocardial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells, resulting in inhibition of cardiac and vascular smooth muscle contraction; this action causes dilation of the main coronary and systemic arteries.
Prescribed for TekamloÂ is a combination of aliskiren, a renin inhibitor, and amlodipine, a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, indicated for the treatment of hypertension, alone or with other antihypertensive agents, to lower blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions.

Route of Administration Oral route
Recommended Dosage The recommended initial once-daily dose of Tekamlo is 150 mg/5 mg. Titrate as needed to a maximum of 300 mg/10 mg. The blood pressure lowering effects are largely attained within 1 to 2 weeks. If blood pressure remains uncontrolled after 2 to 4 weeks of therapy, titrate the dose to a maximum of Tekamlo 300 mg/10 mg once daily.
Contraindication Do not use with angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) in patients with diabetes. Known hypersensitivity to any of the components.
Side Effects Swelling of lower legs, diarrhea,dizziness, cough, flu-like symptoms, tiredness, high levels of potassium in the blood (hyperkalemia)

Brand Name	Tekturna HCT
Company	Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation
Brand Discription	Tekturna HCT is indicated for the treatment of hypertension, to lower blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions.Â
Prescribed for	This product is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This product contains 2 medications: aliskiren and hydrochlorothiazide. Aliskiren works by relaxing blood vessels so blood can flow more easily. It belongs to a class of drugs known as direct renin inhibitors. Hydrochlorothiazide causes your body to get rid of extra salt and water by making more urine. It is called a water pill or diuretic.

Route of Administration	Oral route
Recommended Dosage	Â Initiate with 12.5 mg/150 mg PO qDay; after 2-4 weeks, may increase dose if needed; not to exceed 25 mg/300 mg
Contraindication	Do not use aliskiren with ARBs or ACEIs in patients with diabetes. Tekturna HCT is contraindicated in patients with anuria or hypersensitivity to sulfonamide derived drugs like HCTZ or to any of the components. Hypersensitivity reactions may range from urticaria to anaphylaxis.
Side Effects	Dizziness or lightheadedness may occur as your body adjusts to the medication. If either of these effects persists or worsens, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

Description	Aliskiren is an anti-hypertensive (blood pressure lowering) medicine. It works by decreasing substances in the body that narrow blood vessels and raise blood pressure. It is chemically, (2S,4S,5S,7S)-5-amino-N-(3-amino-2,2-dimethyl-3-oxopropyl)-4-hydroxy-7-[[4-methoxy-3-(3-methoxypropoxy)phenyl]methyl]-8-methyl-2-propan-2-ylnonanamide.
Indication/Disease	It is used to treat hypertension, renal impairment and hepatic impairment
Pharmacodynamics	Aliskiren shows high specificity for human renin, with almost no inhibitory effect against other aspartic peptidases such as cathepsin D and pepsin. Although aliskiren also exhibits high affinity for primate renin, it is significantly less active against renin from dog, rat, rabbit, pig and cat. This high potency for human renin compensates for the relatively low oral bioavailability of the drug.
Mechanism of Action	Renin inhibitor that inhibits the conversion of angiotensinogen to angiotensin I. The decrease in antiotensin I causes a decrease in angiotensin II, a potent blood pressure elevating peptide.
Toxicity	It can cause injury and death to the developing fetus
Metabolism	Metabolized by CYP3A4
Absorption	Poorly absorbed; oral bioavailability is about 2.5%.

Brand Name	Tekamlo
Company	Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation
Brand Discription	Aliskiren: Renin inhibitor; blocks effect of increased renin levels, thereby decreasing feedback loop and reducing plasma renin activity, angiotensin I, and angiotensin II. Amlodipine: Calcium channel blocker; inhibits extracellular Ca ions across the membranes of myocardial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells, resulting in inhibition of cardiac and vascular smooth muscle contraction; this action causes dilation of the main coronary and systemic arteries.
Prescribed for	TekamloÂ is a combination of aliskiren, a renin inhibitor, and amlodipine, a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, indicated for the treatment of hypertension, alone or with other antihypertensive agents, to lower blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions.
Chemical Name	N.A.
Formulation	Tablets (aliskiren/amlodipine): 150 mg/5 mg, 150 mg/10 mg, 300 mg/5 mg, 300 mg/10 mg
Physcial Appearance	150 mg aliskiren/5Â mg amlodipine tablets: Non-scored light yellow, ovaloid convex shaped film-coated tablet with a beveled edgeÂ with debossing â€œT2â€ on one side and â€œNVRâ€ on the reverse side of the tablet, 150 mg aliskiren/10 mg amlodipine tablets: Non-scored yellow, ovaloid convex shaped f
Route of Administration	Oral route
Recommended Dosage	The recommended initial once-daily dose of Tekamlo is 150 mg/5 mg. Titrate as needed to a maximum of 300 mg/10 mg. The blood pressure lowering effects are largely attained within 1 to 2 weeks. If blood pressure remains uncontrolled after 2 to 4 weeks of therapy, titrate the dose to a maximum of Tekamlo 300 mg/10 mg once daily.
Contraindication	Do not use with angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) in patients with diabetes. Known hypersensitivity to any of the components.
Side Effects	Swelling of lower legs, diarrhea,dizziness, cough, flu-like symptoms, tiredness, high levels of potassium in the blood (hyperkalemia)
