Adult: In patients without volume or salt depletion: Initially, 15 mg once daily, titrate upwards to achieve optimal blood pressure control at intervals of 4-weeks. Usual dose: 30 mg once daily. Max: 60 mg once daily as a single dose or in 2 divided doses. In patients suspected of volume or salt depletion: Initially, 15 mg once daily. Correct salt/volume deficiencies, discontinue diuretics for 2-3 days prior to initiation of treatment. If not possible, initiate at 7.5 mg once daily.
Oral Acute myocardial infarction
Adult: Initiate therapy within 24 hours after the onset of symptoms. Initially, 7.5 mg 12 hourly on days 1 and 2, then 15 mg 12 hourly on days 3 and 4, then 30 mg 12 hourly on day 5 onwards up to 6 weeks. Re-evaluate according to patient’s response after 6 weeks. Dosing interruption or discontinuation may be required according to patient’s systolic blood pressure (refer to detailed product guideline).

This drug may cause dizziness, drowsiness or weariness, if affected, do not drive or operate machinery.
Chỉ số theo dõi
Monitor blood pressure, LFT, CBC with differential, serum K, serum creatinine, BUN, and urinary protein test (dip-stick) prior to treatment initiation, during therapy and periodically thereafter.
Quá liều
Symptoms: Severe hypotension, shock, stupor, electrolyte disturbances, bradycardia and renal failure. Management: Perform gastric lavage and administer adsorbents and Na sulfate for recent ingestion. Place the patient in shock position and administer volume expanders or angiotensin II treatment for hypotension. Administer atropine for bradycardia or extensive vagal reactions.

Increased risk of hypotension with cimetidine, thiazide or loop diuretics. Increased risk of angioedema with mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors (e.g. temsirolimus, sirolimus, everolimus). May potentiate hypoglycaemic effects of insulin and sulfonylureas. Increased risk of hyperkalaemia with heparin, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, K-sparing diuretics (e.g. spironolactone, amiloride, triamterene), K supplements or K-containing salts. May increase risk of leucopoenia with allopurinol, procainamide, systemic corticosteroids, cytostatic and immunosuppressive agents. May increase serum levels and toxicity of lithium. May cause nitritoid reaction characterised by flushing, nausea, vomiting, and hypotension with parenteral gold (e.g. Na aurothiomalate). May enhance hypotensive effect of some anaesthetics. Increased risk of renal dysfunction with ciclosporin. Reduced bioavailability with antacids. Diminished antihypertensive effect with NSAIDs and aspirin. Reduced antihypertensive effects with sympathomimetics. Potentially Fatal: Increased risk of hypotension, hyperkalaemia, and decreased renal function with aliskiren. May cause anaphylactoid reactions with dextran sulfate in LDL apheresis.

Food may reduce rate of absorption.
Tác dụng
Description: Zofenopril, a prodrug of zofenoprilat, an ACE inhibitor which acts primarily on the suppression of the plasma renin-angiotensin aldosterone system thus decreasing plasma angiotensin II concentration, leading to decreased vasopressor activity and reduced aldosterone secretion. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Rapidly and completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Food decreases rate of absorption. Time to peak plasma concentration: Approx 1.5 hours. Distribution: Volume of distribution: 96 L. Plasma protein binding: Approx 88%. Metabolism: Undergoes nearly complete metabolism in the liver via thio-ester hydrolysis to its active metabolite, zofenoprilat. Excretion: Via urine (69% as metabolites); faeces (26%). Elimination half-life: 5.5 hours.
