Diabetes Mellitus

Concomitant use of Diovan with aliskiren is contraindicated in patients with diabetes mellitus (see section 4.3).”

Dual Blockade of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS)

Hypotension, syncope, stroke, hyperkalaemia, and changes in renal function (including acute renal failure) have been reported in susceptible individuals, especially if combining medicinal products that affect this system. Dual blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system by combining aliskiren with an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) is therefore not recommended.

The use of aliskiren in combination with Diovan is contraindicated in patients with diabetes mellitus or renal impairment (GFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2) (see section 4.3).”

 

Section 4.5, added:

“Dual blockade of the Renin-Angiotensin- System (RAS) with ARBs, ACEIs, or aliskiren

Caution is required while co-administering ARBs, including Diovan, with other agents blocking the RAAS such as ACEIs or aliskiren (see section 4.4).

 

Concomitant use of angiotensin receptor antagonists (ARBs) - including Diovan - or of angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) with aliskiren in patients with diabetes mellitus or renal impairment (GFR < 60 ml/min/1.73m2) is contraindicated (see section 4.3).”
