| ==Information for Patients==
| |
| | |
| ====Angioedema====
| |
| [[Angioedema]], including [[laryngeal edema]], may occur at any time during treatment with ACE inhibitors, including MAVIK. Patients should be so advised and told to report immediately any signs or symptoms suggesting angioedema (swelling of face, extremities, eyes, lips, tongue, difficulty in swallowing or breathing) and to stop taking the drug until they have consulted with their physician.
| |
| | |
| ====Symptomatic Hypotension====
| |
| Patients should be cautioned that [[light-headedness]] can occur, especially during the first days of MAVIK therapy, and should be reported to a physician. If actual syncope occurs, patients should be told to stop taking the drug until they have consulted with their physician.
| |
| | |
| All patients should be cautioned that inadequate fluid intake, excessive perspiration, [[diarrhea]], or [[vomiting]], resulting in reduced fluid volume, may precipitate an excessive fall in blood pressure with the same consequences of light-headedness and possible [[syncope]].
| |
| | |
| Patients planning to undergo any surgery and/or anesthesia should be told to inform their physician that they are taking an ACE inhibitor that has a long duration of action.
| |
| | |
| ====Hyperkalemia====
| |
| Patients should be told not to use potassium supplements or salt substitutes containing potassium without consulting their physician.
| |
| | |
| ====Neutropenia====
| |
| Patients should be told to report promptly any indication of infection (e.g., [[sore throat]], [[fever]]) which could be a sign of [[neutropenia]].
| |
| | |
| ====Pregnancy====
| |
| Female patients of childbearing age should be told about the consequences of exposure to MAVIK during pregnancy. Discuss treatment options with women planning to become pregnant. Patients should be asked to report pregnancies to their physicians as soon as possible.
