What is Forsage-Humanity?

Forsage-Humanity contains a combination of Amlodipine (Forsage-Humanity) and Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity). Amlodipine (Forsage-Humanity)) is a calcium channel blocker. It works by relaxing the muscles of your heart and blood vessels.

Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity) is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist. Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity) keeps blood vessels from narrowing, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow.

Forsage-Humanity is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).

Forsage-Humanity is usually given after others have been tried without successful treatment of hypertension.

Forsage-Humanity indications

Hypertension

Forsage-Humanity (Amlodipine (Forsage-Humanity) and Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity)) 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. These benefits have been seen in controlled trials of antihypertensive drugs from a wide variety of pharmacologic classes, including Amlodipine (Forsage-Humanity) and the ARB class to which Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity) principally belongs. There are no controlled trials demonstrating risk reduction with Forsage-Humanity.

Control of high blood pressure should be part of comprehensive cardiovascular risk management, including, as appropriate, lipid control, diabetes management, antithrombotic therapy, smoking cessation, exercise, and limited sodium intake. Many patients will require more than 1 drug to achieve blood pressure goals. For specific advice on goals and management, see published guidelines, such as those of the National High Blood Pressure Education Program’s Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC).

Numerous antihypertensive drugs, from a variety of pharmacologic classes and with different mechanisms of action, have been shown in randomized controlled trials to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and it can be concluded that it is blood pressure reduction, and not some other pharmacologic property of the drugs, that is largely responsible for those benefits. The largest and most consistent cardiovascular outcome benefit has been a reduction in the risk of stroke, but reductions in myocardial infarction and cardiovascular mortality also have been seen regularly.

Elevated systolic or diastolic pressure causes increased cardiovascular risk, and the absolute risk increase per mmHg is greater at higher blood pressures, so that even modest reductions of severe hypertension can provide substantial benefit. Relative risk reduction from blood pressure reduction is similar across populations with varying absolute risk, so the absolute benefit is greater in patients who are at higher risk independent of their hypertension (for example, patients with diabetes or hyperlipidemia), and such patients would be expected to benefit from more aggressive treatment to a lower blood pressure goal.

Some antihypertensive drugs have smaller blood pressure effects (as monotherapy) in black patients, and many antihypertensive drugs have additional approved indications and effects (e.g., on angina, heart failure, or diabetic kidney disease). These considerations may guide selection of therapy. Forsage-Humanity (Amlodipine (Forsage-Humanity) and Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity)) is indicated for the treatment of hypertension.

Forsage-Humanity may be used in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled on either monotherapy.

Forsage-Humanity may also be used as initial therapy in patients who are likely to need multiple drugs to achieve their blood pressure goals.

The choice of Forsage-Humanity as initial therapy for hypertension should be based on an assessment of potential benefits and risks including whether the patient is likely to tolerate the lowest dose of Forsage-Humanity.

Patients with stage 2 hypertension (moderate or severe) are at a relatively higher risk for cardiovascular events (such as strokes, heart attacks, and heart failure), kidney failure and vision problems, so prompt treatment is clinically relevant. The decision to use a combination as initial therapy should be individualized and should be shaped by considerations such as baseline blood pressure, the target goal and the incremental likelihood of achieving goal with a combination compared to monotherapy. Individual blood pressure goals may vary based upon the patient’s risk.

Data from the high-dose multifactorial study provide estimates of the probability of reaching a blood pressure goal with Forsage-Humanity compared to Amlodipine (Forsage-Humanity) or Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity) monotherapy. The figures below provide estimates of the likelihood of achieving systolic or diastolic blood pressure control with Forsage-Humanity 10/320 mg, based upon baseline systolic or diastolic blood pressure. The curve of each treatment group was estimated by logistic regression modeling. The estimated likelihood at the right tail of each curve is less reliable due to small numbers of subjects with high baseline blood pressures.

Figure 1: Probability of Achieving Systolic Blood Pressure <140 mmHg at Week 8	Figure 2: Probability of Achieving Diastolic Blood Pressure <90 mmHg at Week 8
Figure 3: Probability of Achieving Systolic Blood Pressure <130 mmHg at Week 8	Figure 4: Probability of Achieving Diastolic Blood Pressure <80 mmHg at Week 8

For example, a patient with a baseline blood pressure of 160/100 mmHg has about a 67% likelihood of achieving a goal of <140 mmHg (systolic) and 80% likelihood of achieving <90 mmHg (diastolic) on Amlodipine (Forsage-Humanity) alone, and the likelihood of achieving these goals on Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity) alone is about 47% (systolic) or 62% (diastolic). The likelihood of achieving these goals on Forsage-Humanity rises to about 80% (systolic) or 85% (diastolic). The likelihood of achieving these goals on placebo is about 28% (systolic) or 37% (diastolic).

How should I use Forsage-Humanity?

Use Forsage-Humanity as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

• An extra patient leaflet is available with Forsage-Humanity. Talk to your pharmacist if you have questions about this information.
• Take Forsage-Humanity by mouth with or without food.
• Take Forsage-Humanity on a regular schedule to get the most benefit from it. Taking Forsage-Humanity at the same time each day will help you remember to take it.
• If you miss a dose of Forsage-Humanity, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Forsage-Humanity.

Forsage-Humanity description

Forsage-Humanity is a combination of angiotensin II (Ang II) antagonist (Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity)) with dihydropyridine derivative (Amlodipine (Forsage-Humanity)).

Amlodipine (Forsage-Humanity) besylate is 3-ethyl-5-methyl (±)-2-[(2-minoethoxy)methyl]-4-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,4-dihydro-6-methyl 3,5-pyridinedicarboxylate, monobenzenesulphonate.

Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity) is (S)-N-valeryl-N-{[2'-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-yl]methyl}-valine.

Forsage-Humanity also contains the following excipients: Microcrystalline cellulose; crospovidone; anhydrous colloidal silica; magnesium stearate; hypromellose, macrogol 4000, talc, titanium dioxide (E171), yellow iron oxide (E172).

Forsage-Humanity 10/160 mg also contains red iron oxide (E172) as an excipient.

Forsage-Humanity dosage

Forsage-Humanity Dosage

Generic name: Amlodipine (Forsage-Humanity) BESYLATE 5mg, Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity) 160mg

Dosage form: tablet, film coated

The information at Drugs.com is not a substitute for medical advice. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist.

2.1 General Considerations

Dose once daily. The dosage can be increased after 1 to 2 weeks of therapy to a maximum of one 10/320 mg tablet once daily as needed to control blood pressure. The majority of the antihypertensive effect is attained within 2 weeks after initiation of therapy or a change in dose.

Forsage-Humanity may be administered with or without food.

Forsage-Humanity may be administered with other antihypertensive agents.

2.2 Add-on Therapy

A patient whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with Amlodipine (Forsage-Humanity) (or another dihydropyridine calcium-channel blocker) alone or with Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity) (or another angiotensin II receptor blocker) alone may be switched to combination therapy with Forsage-Humanity.

A patient who experiences dose-limiting adverse reactions on either component alone may be switched to Forsage-Humanity containing a lower dose of that component in combination with the other to achieve similar blood pressure reductions. The clinical response to Forsage-Humanity should be subsequently evaluated and if blood pressure remains uncontrolled after 3 to 4 weeks of therapy, the dose may be titrated up to a maximum of 10/320 mg.

2.3 Replacement Therapy

For convenience, patients receiving Amlodipine (Forsage-Humanity) and Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity) from separate tablets may instead wish to receive tablets of Forsage-Humanity containing the same component doses.

2.4 Initial Therapy

A patient may be initiated on Forsage-Humanity if it is unlikely that control of blood pressure would be achieved with a single agent. The usual starting dose is Forsage-Humanity 5/160 mg once daily in patients who are not volume-depleted.

Forsage-Humanity interactions

See also:
What other drugs will affect Forsage-Humanity?

No drug interaction studies have been conducted with Forsage-Humanity and other drugs, although studies have been conducted with the individual Amlodipine (Forsage-Humanity) and Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity) components.

Amlodipine (Forsage-Humanity)

Impact of Other Drugs on Amlodipine (Forsage-Humanity)

CYP3A Inhibitors

Co-administration with CYP3A inhibitors (moderate and strong) results in increased systemic exposure to Amlodipine (Forsage-Humanity) and may require dose reduction. Monitor for symptoms of hypotension and edema when Amlodipine (Forsage-Humanity) is co-administered with CYP3A inhibitors to determine the need for dose adjustment.

CYP3A Inducers

No information is available on the quantitative effects of CYP3A inducers on Amlodipine (Forsage-Humanity). Blood pressure should be closely monitored when Amlodipine (Forsage-Humanity) is co-administered with CYP3A inducers.

Sildenafil

Monitor for hypotension when sildenafil is co-administered with Amlodipine (Forsage-Humanity).

Impact of Amlodipine (Forsage-Humanity) on Other Drugs

Simvastatin

Co-administration of simvastatin with Amlodipine (Forsage-Humanity) increases the systemic exposure of simvastatin. Limit the dose of simvastatin in patients on Amlodipine (Forsage-Humanity) to 20 mg daily.

Immunosuppressants

Amlodipine (Forsage-Humanity) may increase the systemic exposure of cyclosporine or tacrolimus when co-administered. Frequent monitoring of trough blood levels of cyclosporine and tacrolimus is recommended and adjust the dose when appropriate.

Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity)

No clinically significant pharmacokinetic interactions were observed when Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity) was coadministered with Amlodipine (Forsage-Humanity), atenolol, cimetidine, digoxin, furosemide, glyburide, hydrochlorothiazide, or indomethacin. The Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity)-atenolol combination was more antihypertensive than either component, but it did not lower the heart rate more than atenolol alone.

Warfarin: Coadministration of Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity) and warfarin did not change the pharmacokinetics of Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity) or the time-course of the anticoagulant properties of warfarin.

Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Agents including Selective Cyclooxygenase-2 Inhibitors (COX-2 Inhibitors): In patients who are elderly, volume-depleted (including those on diuretic therapy), or with compromised renal function, coadministration of NSAIDs, including selective COX-2 inhibitors, with angiotensin II receptor antagonists, including Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity), may result in deterioration of renal function, including possible acute renal failure. These effects are usually reversible. Monitor renal function periodically in patients receiving Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity) and NSAID therapy.

The antihypertensive effect of angiotensin II receptor antagonists, including Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity), may be attenuated by NSAIDs including selective COX-2 inhibitors.

Potassium: Concomitant use of Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity) with other agents that block the renin-angiotensin system, potassium-sparing diuretics (e.g., spironolactone, triamterene, amiloride), potassium supplements, salt substitutes containing potassium or other drugs that may increase potassium levels (e.g., heparin) may lead to increases in serum potassium and in heart failure patients to increases in serum creatinine. If co-medication is considered necessary, monitoring of serum potassium is advisable.

CYP 450 Interactions: In vitro metabolism studies indicate that CYP 450 mediated drug interactions between Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity) and coadministered drugs are unlikely because of low extent of metabolism.

Transporters: The results from an in vitro study with human liver tissue indicate that Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity) is a substrate of the hepatic uptake transporter OATP1B1 and the hepatic efflux transporter MRP2. Coadministration of inhibitors of the uptake transporter (rifampin, cyclosporine) or efflux transporter (ritonavir) may increase the systemic exposure to Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity).

Dual Blockade of the Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS): Dual blockade of the RAS with angiotensin receptor blockers, ACE inhibitors, or aliskiren is associated with increased risks of hypotension, hyperkalemia, and changes in renal function (including acute renal failure) compared to monotherapy. Most patients receiving the combination of two RAS inhibitors do not obtain any additional benefit compared to monotherapy. In general, avoid combined use of RAS inhibitors. Closely monitor blood pressure, renal function, and electrolytes in patients on Forsage-Humanity and other agents that affect the RAS.

Do not coadminister aliskiren with Forsage-Humanity in patients with diabetes. Avoid use of aliskiren with Forsage-Humanity in patients with renal impairment (GFR < 60 mL/min).

Lithium: Increases in serum lithium concentrations and lithium toxicity have been reported during concomitant administration of lithium with angiotensin II receptor antagonists, including Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity). Monitor serum lithium levels during concomitant use.

What are the possible side effects of Forsage-Humanity?

Clinical Trials Experience

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The adverse reaction information from clinical trials does, however, provide a basis for identifying the adverse events that appear to be related to drug use and for approximating rates.

Studies with Forsage-Humanity:

Forsage-Humanity has been evaluated for safety in over 2600 patients with hypertension; over 1440 of these patients were treated for at least 6 months and over 540 of these patients were treated for at least 1 year. Adverse reactions have generally been mild and transient in nature and have only infrequently required discontinuation of therapy.

The hazards of Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity) are generally independent of dose; those of Amlodipine (Forsage-Humanity) are a mixture of dose-dependent phenomena (primarily peripheral edema) and dose-independent phenomena, the former much more common than the latter.

The overall frequency of adverse reactions was neither dose-related nor related to gender, age, or race. In placebo-controlled clinical trials, discontinuation due to side effects occurred in 1.8% of patients in the Forsage-Humanity-treated patients and 2.1% in the placebo-treated group. The most common reasons for discontinuation of therapy with Forsage-Humanity were peripheral edema (0.4%), and vertigo (0.2%).

The adverse reactions that occurred in placebo-controlled clinical trials in at least 2% of patients treated with Forsage-Humanity but at a higher incidence in Forsage-Humanity patients (n=1437) than placebo (n=337) included peripheral edema (5.4% vs 3.0%), nasopharyngitis (4.3% vs 1.8%), upper respiratory tract infection (2.9% vs 2.1%) and dizziness (2.1% vs 0.9%).

Orthostatic events (orthostatic hypotension and postural dizziness) were seen in less than 1% of patients.

Other adverse reactions that occurred in placebo-controlled clinical trials with Forsage-Humanity (≥0.2%) are listed below. It cannot be determined whether these events were causally related to Forsage-Humanity.

In a 129-patient trial limited to patients who had had dry cough when they had previously received ACE inhibitors, the incidences of cough in patients who received Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity), HCTZ, or lisinopril were 20%, 19%, and 69% respectively (p<0.001).

Other adverse reactions, not listed above, occurring in >0.2% of patients in controlled clinical trials with Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity) are:

Body as a Whole: allergic reaction, asthenia

Musculoskeletal: muscle cramps

Neurologic and Psychiatric: paresthesia

Respiratory: sinusitis, pharyngitis

Urogenital: impotence

Other reported events seen less frequently in clinical trials were: angioedema.

Adverse reactions reported for Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity) for indications other than hypertension may be found in the prescribing information for Diovan.

Forsage-Humanity contraindications

See also:
What is the most important information I should know about Forsage-Humanity?

Hypersensitivity to Amlodipine (Forsage-Humanity) besylate and Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity) or to any of the excipients of Forsage-Humanity.

Concomitant use of angiotensin-receptor antagonists (ARBs) including Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity) or of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) with aliskiren in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Use in Pregnancy: As for any drug that also acts directly on renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS), Forsage-Humanity must not be used during pregnancy. Due to the mechanism of action of Ang II antagonists, a risk to the fetus cannot be excluded. Administration of ACEIs (a specific class of drugs acting on the RAAS) to pregnant women during the 2nd- and 3rd-trimesters has been reported to cause injury and death to the developing fetus. In addition, in retrospective data, 1st trimester use of ACEIs has been associated with a potential risk of birth defects. There have been reports of spontaneous abortion, oligohydramnios and newborn renal dysfunction when pregnant women have inadvertently taken Valsartan (Forsage-Humanity).

There are no adequate clinical data with Amlodipine (Forsage-Humanity) in pregnant women. Animal studies with Amlodipine (Forsage-Humanity) have shown reproductive toxicity at dose 8 times the maximum recommended dose of 10 mg. The potential risk to humans is unknown.

If pregnancy is detected during therapy, Forsage-Humanity must be discontinued as soon as possible.
