CLINICAL PARTICULARS

Therapeutic indications

In the treatment of hypertension and reducing blood pressure

Posology and method of administration

Posology

Use in adults:

Initial dosage: Usually 125mg or 250mg two or three times a day, for two days.

Adjustment: Usually adjusted at intervals of not less than two days, until an adequate response is obtained. The maximum recommended daily dosage is 500mg to 3g.

Many patients experience sedation for two or three days when therapy with ‘Methyldopa Taj Pharma’ is started or when the dose is increased. When increasing the dosage, therefore, it may be desirable to increase the evening dose first.

Withdrawal of ‘Methyldopa Taj Pharma’ is followed by return of hypertension, usually within 48 hours. This is not complicated generally by an overshoot of blood pressure.

Patients with renal impairment:

Methyldopa is largely excreted by the kidney, and patients with impaired renal function may respond to smaller doses.

Other antihypertensives:

Therapy with ‘Methyldopa Taj Pharma’ may be initiated in most patients already on treatment with other antihypertensive agents by terminating these antihypertensive medications gradually, as required. Following such previous antihypertensive therapy, ‘Methyldopa Taj Pharma’ should be limited to an initial dose of not more than 500mg daily and increased as required at intervals of not less than two days.

When Methyldopa Taj Pharma is given to patients on other antihypertensives the dose of these agents may need to be adjusted to effect a smooth transition.

When 500mg of ‘Methyldopa Taj Pharma’ is added to 50mg of hydrochlorothiazide, the two agents may be given together once daily.

Paediatric population:

Initial dosage is based on 10mg/kg of bodyweight daily in 2-4 oral doses. The daily dosage is then increased or decreased until an adequate response is achieved. The maximum dosage is 65mg/kg or 3.0 g daily, whichever is less.

Older people:

The initial dose in elderly patients should be kept as low as possible, not exceeding 250mg daily; an appropriate starting dose in the elderly would be 125mg b.d. increasing slowly as required, but not to exceed a maximum daily dosage of 2 g. Syncope in older patients may be related to an increased sensitivity and advanced arteriosclerotic vascular disease. This may be avoided by lower doses.

Method of administration

Oral.

Contraindications

‘Methyldopa Taj Pharma’ is contra-indicated in patients with:

active hepatic disease, such as acute hepatitis and active cirrhosis
hypersensitivity to the active substance (including hepatic disorders associated with previous Methyldopa Taj Pharma therapy), or to any of the excipients listed in section 6.1
depression
on therapy with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs)
with a catecholamine-secreting tumour such as phaeochromocytoma or paraganglioma
with porphyria.
- Special warnings and precautions for use

Acquired haemolytic anaemia has occurred rarely; should symptoms suggest anaemia, haemoglobin and/or haematocrit determinations should be made. If anaemia is confirmed, tests should be done for haemolysis. If haemolytic anaemia is present, ‘Methyldopa Taj Pharma’ should be discontinued. Stopping therapy, with or without giving a corticosteroid, has usually brought prompt remission. Rarely, however, deaths have occurred.

Some patients on continued therapy with Methyldopa Taj Pharma develop a positive Coombs test. From the reports of different investigators, the incidence averages between 10% and 20%. A positive Coombs test rarely develops in the first six months of therapy, and if it has not developed within 12 months, it is unlikely to do so later on continuing therapy. Development is also dose-related, the lowest incidence occurring in patients receiving 1 g or less of Methyldopa Taj Pharma per day. The test becomes negative usually within weeks or months of stopping Methyldopa Taj Pharma.

Prior knowledge of a positive Coombs reaction will aid in evaluating a cross-match for transfusion. If a patient with a positive Coombs reaction shows an incompatible minor cross-match, an indirect Coombs test should be performed. If this is negative, transfusion with blood compatible in the major cross-match may be carried out. If positive, the advisability of transfusion should be determined by a haematologist.

Reversible leukopenia, with primary effect on granulocytes has been reported rarely. The granulocyte count returned to normal on discontinuing therapy. Reversible thrombocytopenia has occurred rarely.

Occasionally, fever has occurred within the first three weeks of therapy, sometimes associated with eosinophilia or abnormalities in liver-function tests. Jaundice, with or without fever, may also occur. Its onset is usually within the first two or three months of therapy. In some patients the findings are consistent with those of cholestasis. Rare cases of fatal hepatic necrosis have been reported. Liver biopsy, performed in several patients with liver dysfunction, showed a microscopic focal necrosis compatible with drug hypersensitivity. Liver-function tests and a total and differential white blood-cell count are advisable before therapy and at intervals during the first six weeks to twelve weeks of therapy, or whenever an unexplained fever occurs.

Should fever, abnormality in liver function, or jaundice occur, therapy should be withdrawn. If related to Methyldopa Taj Pharma, the temperature and abnormalities in liver function will then return to normal. Methyldopa should not be used again in these patients. Methyldopa should be used with caution in patients with a history of previous liver disease or dysfunction.

Patients may require reduced doses of anaesthetics when on Methyldopa Taj Pharma. If hypotension does occur during anaesthesia, it can usually be controlled by vasopressors. The adrenergic receptors remain sensitive during treatment with Methyldopa Taj Pharma.

Dialysis removes Methyldopa Taj Pharma; therefore, hypertension may recur after this procedure.

Rarely, involuntary choreoathetotic movements have been observed during therapy with Methyldopa Taj Pharma in patients with severe bilateral cerebrovascular disease. Should these movements occur, therapy should be discontinued.

Interference with laboratory tests:

Methyldopa may interfere with the measurement of urinary uric acid by the phosphotungstate method, serum creatinine by the alkaline picrate method, and AST (SGOT) by colorimetric method. Interference with spectrophotometric methods for AST (SGOT) analysis has not been reported.

As Methyldopa Taj Pharma fluoresces at the same wavelengths as catecholamines, spuriously high amounts of urinary catecholamines may be reported interfering with a diagnosis of catecholamine-secreting tumours such as phaeochromocytoma or paraganglioma.

It is important to recognise this phenomenon before a patient with a possible phaeochromocytoma is subjected to surgery. Methyldopa does not interfere with measurements of VMA (vanillylmandelic acid) by those methods which convert VMA to vanillin. Methyldopa is contraindicated for the treatment of patients with a catecholamine-secreting tumour such as phaeochromocytoma or paraganglioma.

Rarely, when urine is exposed to air after voiding, it may darken because of breakdown of Methyldopa Taj Pharma or its metabolites.

Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction

Lithium:

When Methyldopa Taj Pharma and lithium are given concomitantly the patient should be monitored carefully for symptoms of lithium toxicity.

Other antihypertensive drugs:

When Methyldopa Taj Pharma is used with other antihypertensive drugs, potentiation of antihypertensive action may occur. The progress of patients should be carefully followed to detect side reactions or manifestations of drug idiosyncrasy.

Other classes of drug:

The antihypertensive effect of ‘Methyldopa Taj Pharma’ may be diminished by sympathomimetics, phenothiazines, tricyclic antidepressants and MAOIs (see 4.3 ‘Contra-indications’). In addition, phenothiazines may have additive hypotensive effects.

Iron:

Several studies demonstrate a decrease in the bioavailability of Methyldopa Taj Pharma when it is ingested with ferrous sulphate or ferrous gluconate. This may adversely affect blood pressure control in patients treated with Methyldopa Taj Pharma.

Pregnancy and lactation

Pregnancy

‘Methyldopa Taj Pharma’ has been used under close medical supervision for the treatment of hypertension during pregnancy. There was no clinical evidence that ‘Methyldopa Taj Pharma’ caused foetal abnormalities or affected the neonate.

Published reports of the use of Methyldopa Taj Pharma during all trimesters indicate that if this drug is used during pregnancy the possibility of foetal harm appears remote.

Methyldopa crosses the placental barrier and appears in cord blood.

Although no obvious teratogenic effects have been reported, the possibility of foetal injury cannot be excluded and the use of the drug in women who are, or may become pregnant requires that anticipated benefits be weighed against possible risks.

Breast-feeding

Methyldopa appears in breast milk. The use of the drug in breast-feeding mothers requires that anticipated benefits be weighed against possible risks.

Effects on ability to drive and use machines

‘Methyldopa Taj Pharma’ may cause sedation, usually transient, during the initial period of therapy or whenever the dose is increased. If affected, patients should not carry out activities where alertness is necessary, such as driving a car or operating machinery.

Undesirable effects

Sedation, usually transient, may occur during the initial period of therapy or whenever the dose is increased. If affected, patients should not attempt to drive, or operate machinery. Headache, asthenia or weakness may be noted as early and transient symptoms.

The following convention has been utilised for the classification of frequency: Very common (≥1/10), common (≥1/100 and <1/10), uncommon (≥1/1000 and <1/100), rare (≥ 1/10,000 and <1/1000), very rare (< 1/10,000) and not known (cannot be estimated from the available data).

Reporting of suspected adverse reactions

Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product.

Overdose

Symptoms

Acute overdosage may produce acute hypotension with other responses attributable to brain and gastro-intestinal malfunction (excessive sedation, weakness, bradycardia, dizziness, light-headedness, constipation, distension, flatus, diarrhoea, nausea, and vomiting).

Management

If ingestion is recent, emesis may be induced or gastric lavage performed. There is no specific antidote. Methyldopa is dialysable. Treatment is symptomatic. Infusions may be helpful to promote urinary excretion. Special attention should be directed towards cardiac rate and output, blood volume, electrolyte balance, paralytic ileus, urinary function and cerebral activity.

Administration of sympathomimetic agents may be indicated. When chronic overdosage is suspected, ‘Methyldopa Taj Pharma’ should be discontinued.

Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamic properties

Pharmacotherapeutic group: antiadrenergic agents;

Mechanism of action

It appears that several mechanisms of action account for the clinically useful effects of Methyldopa Taj Pharma and the current generally accepted view is that its principal action is on the central nervous system. The antihypertensive effect of Methyldopa Taj Pharma is probably due to its metabolism to alpha-methylnoradrenaline, which lowers arterial pressure by stimulation of central inhibitory alpha-adrenergic receptors, false neurotransmission, and/or reduction of plasma renin activity. Methyldopa has been shown to cause a net reduction in the tissue concentration of serotonin, dopamine, epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline).

Pharmacokinetic properties

Absorption

Absorption of oral Methyldopa Taj Pharma is variable and incomplete.

Distribution

Bioavailability after oral administration averages 25%.

Biotransformation

Peak concentrations in plasma occur at two to three hours, and elimination of the drug is biphasic regardless of the route of administration. Plasma half-life is 1.8 ± 0.2 hours.

Elimination

Renal excretion accounts for about two thirds of drug clearance from plasma.
