Active Ingredient Description
Aliskiren

Aliskiren is an orally active, non-peptide, potent and selective direct inhibitor of human renin. By inhibiting the enzyme renin, aliskiren inhibits the RAAS at the point of activation, blocking the conversion of angiotensinogen to angiotensin I and decreasing levels of angiotensin I and angiotensin II.

Aliskiren and Hydrochlorothiazide

Combination of two antihypertensive active substances to control blood pressure in patients with essential hypertension. Aliskiren belongs to the class of direct renin inhibitors and hydrochlorothiazide to the class of thiazide diuretics. The combination of these substances with complementary mechanisms of action provides an additive antihypertensive effect, reducing blood pressure to a greater degree than either component alone.

Hydrochlorothiazide

Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic with antihypertensive properties. It acts by inhibiting the renal tubular re-absorption of sodium and chloride ions, which are excreted with an accompanying volume of water. Potassium excretion is also promoted.
