Clinical and pharmacological group: Combined antihypertensive drug. Angiotensin II receptor antagonist + diuretic Pharmacotherapeutic group: Antihypertensive combined drug (angiotensin II receptor blocker + diuretic)
pharmachologic effect
Angiotensin II is the main hormone of the RAAS, which plays an important role in the pathogenesis of arterial hypertension, heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases. The main physiological effects of angiotensin II are vasoconstriction, stimulation of aldosterone production, regulation of fluid and electrolyte status, and stimulation of cell growth. The effects are mediated by the interaction of angiotensin II with angiotensin type 1 receptors (AT1 receptors).
Candesartan is a selective antagonist of AT1 receptors of angiotensin II, does not inhibit ACE, which converts angiotensin I into angiotensin II, destroying bradykinin, does not lead to the accumulation of bradykinin or substance P. As a result of blocking the AT1 receptors of angiotensin II, a dose-dependent increase in the content of renin and angiotensin I occurs , angiotensin II and a decrease in the concentration of aldosterone in the blood plasma.
When comparing candesartan with ACE inhibitors, the development of cough was less common in patients receiving candesartan.
Candesartan does not bind to the receptors of other hormones and does not block ion channels involved in the regulation of the functions of the cardiovascular system.
Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that inhibits active sodium reabsorption, mainly in the distal renal tubules and increases the excretion of sodium, chlorine and water ions. The excretion of potassium and magnesium by the kidneys increases in a dose-dependent manner, while calcium begins to be reabsorbed in greater quantities than before.
Hydrochlorothiazide reduces the volume of blood plasma and extracellular fluid, reduces the intensity of blood transport by the heart, and lowers blood pressure. During long-term treatment, the hypotensive effect develops due to the dilation of arterioles. Long-term use of hydrochlorothiazide reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality.
Candesartan and hydrochlorothiazide have a cumulative hypotensive effect. In patients with arterial hypertension, the use of candesartan/hydrochlorothiazide causes an effective and lasting reduction in blood pressure without increasing heart rate. Orthostatic arterial hypotension is not observed when taking the drug for the first time; after treatment, arterial hypertension does not increase.
After a single dose of candesartan/hydrochlorothiazide, the main hypotensive effect develops within 2 hours. The use of the drug once a day effectively and gently reduces blood pressure within 24 hours with a slight difference between the maximum and average effect of action. With long-term treatment, a stable decrease in blood pressure occurs within 4 weeks after starting the drug and can be maintained with a long course of treatment.
In clinical studies, the incidence of side effects, especially cough, was lower with candesartan/hydrochlorothiazide than with a combination of ACE inhibitors and hydrochlorothiazide.
There are currently no data on the use of candesartan/hydrochlorothiazide in patients with renal failure, nephropathy, reduced left ventricular function, acute heart failure and myocardial infarction.
The effectiveness of candesartan/hydrochlorothiazide does not depend on gender or age.
Pharmacokinetics
Suction and distribution
Candesartan. When candesartan is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, cilexitil quickly turns into the active substance, candesartan, through ether hydrolysis, binds strongly to AT1 receptors and slowly dissociates, and has no agonist properties. The absolute bioavailability of candesartan after oral administration is about 40%. The relative bioavailability of the tablet form compared to the oral solution is approximately 34%. Thus, the calculated absolute bioavailability of the tablet form of the drug is 14%. Food intake does not have a significant effect on AUC, i.e. food does not significantly affect the bioavailability of the drug.
Cmax in blood plasma is achieved 3-4 hours after taking the tablet form of the drug. As the dose increases within the recommended limits, the concentration of candesartan increases linearly. The binding of candesartan to plasma proteins is more than 99%. Plasma Vd of candesartan is 0.1 l/kg.
The pharmacokinetic parameters of candesartan do not depend on the gender of the patient.
Hydrochlorothiazide. Hydrochlorothiazide is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Bioavailability is approximately 70%. Concomitant meals increase absorption by approximately 15%. Bioavailability may be reduced in patients with heart failure and severe edema.
Plasma protein binding is approximately 60%. Apparent Vd is approximately 0.8 l/kg.
Metabolism and excretion
Candesartan. Candesartan is mainly excreted unchanged from the body by the kidneys and through the intestines with bile and is only slightly metabolized in the liver. T1/2 is approximately 9 hours. Cumulation of candesartan in the body is not observed.
The total clearance of candesartan is about 0.37 ml/min/kg, while the renal clearance is about 0.19 ml/min/kg. Renal excretion of candesartan is carried out by glomerular filtration and active tubular secretion.
When radiolabeled candesartan is administered orally, approximately 26% of the administered amount is excreted in the urine as candesartan and 7% as an inactive metabolite, whereas 56% of the administered amount is found in the feces as candesartan and 10% as an inactive metabolite.
Hydrochlorothiazide. Hydrochlorothiazide is not metabolized and is excreted almost entirely as the active form of the drug by glomerular filtration and active tubular secretion in the proximal nephron. T1/2 is about 8 hours and does not change when taken together with candesartan. Approximately 70% of the dose taken orally is excreted by the kidneys within 48 hours. When using a combination of drugs, no additional accumulation of hydrochlorothiazide was detected in comparison with monotherapy.
Pharmacokinetics in special clinical situations
Candesartan. In patients over 65 years of age, the Cmax and AUC of candesartan increase by 50% and 80%, respectively, compared with younger patients. However, the hypotensive effect and the incidence of side effects when using candesartan/hydrochlorothiazide do not depend on the age of the patients.
In patients with mild and moderate renal impairment, Cmax and AUC of candesartan increased by 50% and 70%, respectively, while T1/2 did not change compared to patients with normal renal function.
In patients with severe renal impairment and/or those on hemodialysis, the Cmax and AUC of candesartan increased by 50% and 110%, respectively, and T1/2 increased by 2 times.
In patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment, the AUC of candesartan increased by 23%.
Hydrochlorothiazide. T1/2 is longer in patients with renal failure.

Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding
The drug Ordiss N® is contraindicated for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Patients taking the drug should be warned about this before planning pregnancy so that they can switch to alternative therapy with a proven safety profile for use during pregnancy. If pregnancy is diagnosed, drug therapy should be stopped immediately. Drugs that affect the RAAS can cause developmental disorders in the fetus and/or have a negative effect on the newborn, including death when using the drug during pregnancy. It is known that therapy with angiotensin II receptor antagonists can cause developmental disorders of the fetus (impaired renal function, oligohydramnios, delayed ossification of the skull bones) and the development of complications in the newborn (impaired renal function, arterial hypotension, hyperkalemia).
Experience with the use of hydrochlorothiazide during pregnancy is limited. Hydrochlorothiazide penetrates the placental barrier. Given the mechanism of action of hydrochlorothiazide, its use during pregnancy can cause disturbances in fetoplacental circulation and undesirable effects in the fetus and newborn in the form of jaundice, water-electrolyte imbalance and thrombocytopenia.
It is not known whether candesartan is excreted into breast milk in humans. Candesartan is excreted in the milk of lactating rats. Hydrochlorothiazide is excreted in breast milk.
Use for liver dysfunction
The drug Ordiss N is contraindicated in patients with severe liver failure. Use with caution in cases of moderate renal failure.
Use for impaired renal function Ordiss N is contraindicated in patients with severe renal failure (creatinine clearance less than 30 ml/min). Use with caution in cases of moderate renal failure.
Use in children The safety and effectiveness of Ordiss N® in children and adolescents under 18 years of age have not been established.
Use in elderly patients No dose adjustment is required in elderly patients.
special instructions
Concomitant use of ACE inhibitors, ARB II or aliskiren increases the risk of developing arterial hypotension, hyperkalemia and renal dysfunction (including acute renal failure). Double blockade of the RAAS when using ACE inhibitors, ARB II or aliskiren is not recommended (see section “Drug Interactions”).
If double blockade of the RAAS is considered absolutely necessary, then treatment should be carried out only under the supervision of a physician and with regular monitoring of renal function, electrolyte levels and blood pressure. ACE inhibitors and ARB II should not be used simultaneously in patients with diabetic nephropathy.
In patients with renal failure, the use of loop diuretics is preferable to thiazide diuretics. For patients with renal failure during therapy with Ordiss N®, it is recommended to constantly monitor the levels of potassium, creatinine and uric acid.
There are no data on the use of Ordiss N® in patients who have recently undergone a kidney transplant.
Drugs that affect the RAAS (eg, ACE inhibitors) may increase blood urea and serum creatinine in patients with bilateral renal artery stenosis or arterial stenosis of a solitary kidney. A similar effect should be expected from angiotensin II receptor antagonists.
In patients with BCC and/or sodium deficiency, symptomatic arterial hypotension may develop, so it is not recommended to use the drug Ordiss N® until these symptoms disappear.
In patients receiving angiotensin II antagonists, hypotension may develop during anesthesia and during surgery as a result of blockade of the RAAS. Very rarely, cases of severe arterial hypotension may occur, requiring IV fluids and/or vasoconstrictors.
Patients with impaired liver function or progressive liver disease should use thiazide diuretics with caution, because Minor fluctuations in fluid volume and electrolyte composition can cause hepatic coma. There are no data on the use of Ordiss N® in patients with liver failure.
When prescribing Ordiss N® to patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or hemodynamically significant stenosis of the aortic or mitral valve, caution should be exercised.
Patients with primary hyperaldosteronism are usually resistant to treatment with antihypertensive drugs that affect the RAAS, therefore, the use of Ordiss N® in such patients is not recommended.
As in all cases of taking drugs that have a diuretic effect, electrolytes in the blood plasma should be monitored.
Thiazide-based drugs that have a diuretic effect can reduce the excretion of calcium ions in the urine and can cause sudden changes and a slight increase in the concentration of calcium ions in the blood plasma.
Thiazides, incl. and hydrochlorothiazide, can cause disturbances in water-salt balance (hypercalcemia, hypokalemia, hyponatremia, hypomagnesemia and hypochloremic alkalosis).
Detected hypercalcemia may be a sign of latent hyperparathyroidism.
The use of thiazide diuretics should be discontinued until results of parathyroid tests are available.
Hydrochlorothiazide increases potassium excretion in a dose-dependent manner, which may cause hypokalemia. This effect of hydrochlorothiazide is less pronounced if it is used simultaneously with candesartan. The risk of hypokalemia appears to be increased in patients with liver cirrhosis, increased diuresis, taking fluids with a reduced salt content, and undergoing concurrent treatment with corticosteroids or ACTH.
Based on experience with the use of drugs that affect the RAAS, the concurrent use of Ordiss N® and diuretics that increase potassium excretion can be compensated by the use of nutritional supplements containing potassium or other drugs that can increase the level of potassium in the blood plasma.
The use of Ordiss N® may cause hypokalemia, especially in patients with heart or renal failure (such cases have not been documented).
Thiazide diuretics increase magnesium excretion, which can cause hypomagnesemia.
The use of thiazide diuretics can change the concentration of glucose in the blood up to the manifestation of latent diabetes mellitus. Dosage adjustment of hypoglycemic agents, including insulin, may be required.
The use of thiazide diuretics is associated with an increase in cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood plasma. However, when using the drug Ordiss N®, a minimal amount or absence of such effects was observed.
Thiazide diuretics increase plasma uric acid concentrations and may precipitate gout in predisposed patients.
Patients whose vascular tone and renal function are predominantly dependent on the activity of the RAAS (for example, patients with severe chronic heart failure, kidney disease, including renal artery stenosis) are especially sensitive to drugs acting on the RAAS. The prescription of such drugs is accompanied in these patients by severe arterial hypotension, azotemia, oliguria and, less commonly, acute renal failure. The possibility of developing the listed effects cannot be excluded when using angiotensin II receptor antagonists. A sharp decrease in blood pressure in patients with ischemic cardiopathy, cerebrovascular diseases of ischemic origin when using any antihypertensive drugs can lead to the development of myocardial infarction or stroke.
The occurrence of hypersensitivity reactions to hydrochlorothiazide is most likely in patients with bronchial asthma, a history of allergic reactions, which does not exclude the appearance of allergic symptoms in other patients.
When using thiazide diuretics, there have been cases of exacerbation or the appearance of symptoms of congestive seborrhea.
When using thiazide diuretics, there have been cases of worsening of systemic lupus erythematosus.
Hydrochlorothiazide may cause an idiosyncratic reaction leading to the development of acute myopia and secondary angle-closure glaucoma. Symptoms include: sudden loss of vision or eye pain, usually occurring within hours to weeks of starting hydrochlorothiazide therapy. If left untreated, acute angle-closure glaucoma can lead to permanent vision loss. Treatment is to stop taking hydrochlorothiazide as soon as possible. If intraocular pressure remains uncontrolled, emergency medical treatment or surgery may be required. Risk factors for the development of acute angle-closure glaucoma are a history of an allergic reaction to sulfonamides or benzylpenicillins.
The drug contains lactose, so it should not be taken by patients with rare hereditary diseases manifested by lactose intolerance, lactose deficiency or impaired absorption of glucose and galactose.
Hydrochlorothiazide, which is part of the drug Ordiss N®, can give a positive result during doping control.

Concomitant use of ACE inhibitors, ARB II or aliskiren increases the risk of arterial hypotension, hyperkalemia and renal dysfunction (including acute renal failure). Dual blockade of the RAAS with concomitant use of ACE inhibitors, ARB II or aliskiren is contraindicated in patients with diabetes mellitus and/or with moderate or severe renal impairment (GFR less than 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 body surface area) and is not recommended in others patients (see section “Interaction with other drugs”).

Non-melanoma skin cancer
Two pharmacoepidemiological studies using data from the Danish National Cancer Registry demonstrated an association between hydrochlorothiazide use and an increased risk of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. The risk of developing NMSC increased with increasing total (cumulative) dose of hydrochlorothiazide. A possible mechanism for the development of NMSC is the photosensitizing effect of hydrochlorothiazide.
Patients taking hydrochlorothiazide as monotherapy or in combination with other drugs should be aware of the risk of developing NMSC. In such patients, it is recommended that the skin be examined to identify any new suspicious lesions, as well as changes in existing skin lesions.
Any suspicious skin changes should be reported to your doctor immediately. Suspicious areas of skin should be examined by a specialist. To clarify the diagnosis, histological examination of skin biopsies may be required.
To minimize the risk of developing NMSC, patients should be advised to follow preventive measures, such as limiting exposure to sunlight and UV rays, and using appropriate protective equipment.
In patients with a history of non-melanoma skin cancer, it is recommended to reconsider the use of hydrochlorothiazide. The drug contains lactose, so it should not be taken by patients with rare hereditary diseases manifested by lactose intolerance, lactase deficiency or impaired absorption of glucose and galactose.
Hydrochlorothiazide, which is part of the drug Ordiss N®, can give a positive result during doping control.
