Are there any other precautions or warnings for this medication?

Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use this medication.

Angioedema: Angioedema (a serious allergic reaction which causes the area around the throat and tongue to swell) may occur with trandolapril, although uncommonly. Angioedema may also affect the digestive system. If swelling of the face, tongue, or glottis occurs, or you experience unexpected abdominal pain that may be accompanied by nausea or vomiting, stop the medication at once and seek immediate medical attention. If you experience angioedema with trandolapril, you should not take any of the other ACE inhibitors, such as enalapril, lisinopril, or quinapril.

People who have had angioedema caused by other substances may be at increased risk of angioedema while taking an ACE inhibitor such as trandolapril.

Blood disorders: In rare cases, a low white blood cell count has been reported by people taking this medication. Your doctor may occasionally monitor your level of white blood cells by performing blood tests. Low white blood cell levels may increase your risk for infection. If you notice any signs of infection (e.g., fever, sore throat), contact your doctor as soon as possible.

Cough: People taking trandolapril may develop a dry, persistent cough that usually disappears only after stopping or lowering the trandolapril dose. Be sure to tell your doctor of any cough which does not seem to be related to a usual cause.

Dizziness/reduced alertness: Trandolapril can cause side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, headache or fatigue that may reduce alertness, especially when you first start to take this medication. Avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing other potentially hazardous tasks until you have determined how you are affected by this medication.

Fluid and electrolyte balance: Increases in blood levels of potassium may occur as a result of taking trandolapril. This rarely causes problems, but your doctor will probably want to monitor your potassium levels regularly with blood tests. If you experience unexplained nausea, fatigue, muscle weakness, or tingling sensations, contact your doctor.

Kidney function: Certain people who take this medication may experience changes in kidney function. Some people may be more likely to experience changes in kidney function (e.g., people with narrowed blood vessels in their kidneys, or those with severe congestive heart failure). The use of diuretics (water pills), aliskiren, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), may further increase risk of kidney problems for those at risk for this problem. If you have kidney disease, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Liver function: Liver disease or reduced liver function may cause this medication to build up in the body, causing side effects. If you have liver problems, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed. Your doctor may want to test your liver function regularly with blood tests while you are taking this medication.

This medication may also cause a decrease in liver function. If you experience symptoms of liver problems such as fatigue, feeling unwell, loss of appetite, nausea, yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes, dark urine, pale stools, abdominal pain or swelling, and itchy skin, contact your doctor immediately.

Low blood pressure: Occasionally, blood pressure drops too low after taking trandolapril. This usually happens after the first or second dose or when the dose is increased. It is more likely to occur for those who take aliskiren, water pills, have a salt restricted diet, are on dialysis, or are experiencing diarrhea or vomiting. These individuals should be monitored closely by their doctor for the first weeks of treatment and whenever the dose of the medication is increased. To reduce the risk of dizziness, get up slowly from a lying down or sitting position. If low blood pressure causes you to faint or feel lightheaded, contact your doctor.

Excessive sweating and lack of fluid intake may lead to an excessive fall in blood pressure because of reduced fluid in your blood vessels. Vomiting or diarrhea may also lead to a fall in blood pressure. Consult your doctor if you feel your blood pressure is too low.

Pregnancy: ACE inhibitors such as trandolapril may cause severe harm or death to a developing baby if taken by the mother during pregnancy. This medication should not be used during pregnancy. If you become pregnant while taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately.

Breast-feeding: This medication passes into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking trandolapril, it may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.

Children: The safety and effectiveness of using this medication have not been established for children.

Seniors: Seniors may have an increased risk of experiencing side effects when taking trandolapril due to reduced kidney function. Lower doses may be necessary to minimize side effects.

Trandolapril – an ACE inhibitor.

Side effects and dosage.

About trandolapril

Type of medicineAn angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor
Used forHigh blood pressure; to protect the heart after a heart attack
Available asCapsules

Trandolapril belongs to a class of medicines called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. You may be prescribed it to reduce high blood pressure (hypertension), or to protect your heart and blood vessels from further damage following a heart attack. Your doctor will tell you why it has been prescribed for you.

ACE inhibitors like trandolapril prevent your body from creating a hormone known as angiotensin II. They do this by blocking (inhibiting) a chemical called angiotensin-converting enzyme. This widens your blood vessels and helps to reduce the amount of water put back into your blood by your kidneys. These actions help to reduce high blood pressure. People with high blood pressure often do not feel unwell but, if left untreated, high blood pressure can harm the heart and damage blood vessels, leading to a heart attack or stroke.

Trandolapril also has a protective effect on the heart in people who have recently had a heart attack.

Before taking trandolapril

Some medicines are not suitable for people with certain conditions, and sometimes a medicine can only be used if extra care is taken. For these reasons, before you start taking trandolapril it is important that your doctor knows:

  • If you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • If you have any problems with the way your kidneys work, or any problems with the way your liver works.
  • If you are lacking in fluid in the body (dehydrated) – for example, if you have had diarrhoea or sickness very recently.
  • If you have been told you have a build-up of fatty deposits on the walls of your arteries, a condition called atherosclerosis.
  • If you have a particular type of poor circulation called peripheral arterial disease.
  • If you have collagen vascular disease – this includes conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and scleroderma.
  • If you have been told you have heart muscle disease (cardiomyopathy), or narrowing of the main blood vessel from your heart (aortic stenosis).
  • If you have ever had a reaction where your face, tongue or throat swells (angio-oedema).
  • If you are having desensitisation treatment to protect against bee and wasp stings.
  • If you are having dialysis treatment, or treatment to remove cholesterol from your blood by a machine (LDL apheresis).
  • If you are taking any other medicines. This includes any medicines you are taking which are available to buy without a prescription, as well as herbal and complementary medicines.
  • If you have ever had an allergic or unusual reaction to any other ACE inhibitor (such as captopril, lisinopril, ramipril or perindopril), or to any other medicine.

How to take trandolapril

  • Before you start the treatment, read the manufacturer’s printed information leaflet from inside the pack. It will give you more information about trandolapril and will provide you with a full list of side-effects which you could experience from taking it.
  • Take the capsules exactly as your doctor tells you to. Trandolapril is taken once a day. Your doctor may advise you to take your very first dose at bedtime. This is because you may feel dizzy when you first start taking it. With the exception of the first dose, you can generally take trandolapril at a time of day you find easy to remember. For most people this will be in the morning.
  • Try to take your doses at the same time of day each day as this will help you to remember to take your doses regularly. You can take the capsule either with or without food. It is best to swallow the capsule with a drink of water. Do not open or chew the capsules.
  • There are several strengths of trandolapril capsules – 500 micrograms, 2 mg and 4 mg. It is usual to start with a low strength and then for the strength to be increased as necessary after a few weeks. This allows your doctor to make sure that you have the dose that helps your condition, but helps avoid unwanted side-effects. Each time you collect a new supply of trandolapril, check to make sure it contains the strength of capsule that you are expecting.
  • If you forget to take a capsule at your usual time, take it as soon as you remember. If you do not remember until the following day, leave out the forgotten dose from the previous day and take the dose that is due as normal. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose.

Getting the most from your treatment

  • Try to keep your regular appointments with your doctor. This is so your progress can be monitored. Your doctor will want you to have some blood tests from time to time to check that your kidneys are working well.
  • It is very important that you follow any dietary and lifestyle advice that you have been given by your doctor. This can include advice about eating a healthy diet, not smoking, and taking regular exercise.
  • If you buy any medicines, check with a pharmacist that they are suitable to take with trandolapril. This is because some medicines (such as anti-inflammatory painkillers and indigestion remedies) can interfere with your treatment.
  • It is likely that your doctor will advise that you do not use salt substitutes while you are taking trandolapril. These products have a high content of potassium which could be harmful for you.
  • If you drink alcohol, ask your doctor for advice about drinking alcohol while you are on trandolapril. Alcoholic drinks can make you feel light-headed or dizzy, and they may not be advisable for you.
  • If you have diabetes you may need to check your blood sugar (glucose) more frequently, as the capsules can lower the levels of sugar in your blood. Your doctor will advise you about this.
  • If you are having an operation or dental treatment, tell the person carrying out the treatment that you are taking trandolapril. This is because some anaesthetics could cause your blood pressure to drop too low.
  • Treatment with trandolapril is often long-term unless you experience an adverse effect. Continue to take the capsules unless you are advised otherwise by your doctor.

Can trandolapril cause problems?

Along with their useful effects, most medicines can cause unwanted side-effects although not everyone experiences them. The table below contains some of the more common ones associated with trandolapril. The best place to find a full list of the side-effects which can be associated with your medicine, is from the manufacturer’s printed information leaflet supplied with the medicine. Alternatively, you can find an example of a manufacturer’s information leaflet in the reference section below. Speak with your doctor or pharmacist if any of the following continue or become troublesome.

Common trandolapril side-effects (these affect less than 1 in 10 people)What can I do if I experience this?
Dry irritating coughIf this continues, speak with your doctor, as a different type of medicine may be more suitable for you
Feeling dizzy or tiredGetting up more slowly should help. If you begin to feel dizzy, lie down so that you do not faint, then sit for a few moments before standing. If this continues beyond the first few days, speak with your doctor. Do not drive and do not use tools or machines while affected
HeadacheDrink plenty of water and ask a pharmacist to recommend a suitable painkiller. If the headaches continue, let your doctor know
Feeling sick (nausea), diarrhoeaStick to simple foods – avoid fatty or spicy meals
Kidney problemsYour doctor will check for this

Important: if you experience any of the following rare but serious symptoms, stop taking trandolapril and contact your doctor for advice straightaway:

  • Any difficulty breathing, or swelling of your face, mouth, tongue or throat. These are signs of an allergic reaction.
  • Any yellowing of your skin or the whites of your eyes. These can be signs of a liver problem called jaundice, which is a rare side-effect.

If you experience any other symptoms which you think may be due to the capsules, speak with your doctor or pharmacist for further advice.

About Mavik

This belongs to the group of medicines known as ACE inhibitors. It is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and is also sometimes used to treat people who have suffered from a heart attack. Mavik works by causing blood vessels to relax, lowering blood pressure and increasing the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart. For this reason it is also sometimes used, alongside other medicines, to treat heart failure and in patients who have suffered a heart attack.

Before Taking Mavik

Before taking any of this medicine make sure your doctor or pharmacist knows:

  • if you are pregnant, trying for a baby or breast-feeding
  • if you suffer from kidney or liver disease
  • if you or anyone in your family has ever experienced angioedema (swelling of the tongue, lips, face and eyelids)
  • if you have ever had an allergic reaction to this or any other medicine
  • if you are taking any other medicines, including those available to buy without a prescription

How to Take Mavik

  • Take this medicine exactly as directed by your doctor.
  • Keep your regular appointments with your doctor. You will probably have to have your blood pressure checked to ensure the dose you are taking is right for you.
  • Do not stop taking this medicine without speaking to your doctor first.
  • Try to take this medicine at the same time each day to avoid missing any doses.
  • Do not take any salt substitutes containing potassium without speaking to your doctor first.
  • This medicine is for you. Never give it to others even if their condition appears to be the same as yours.
  • Never take more than the prescribed dose. If you suspect that you or someone else has taken an overdose of Mavik contact your doctor or go to the accident and emergency department of your local hospital at once. Always take the container with you if possible, even if it is empty.

    I would like to say separately about the polaric (polarizing filter). Indeed, this is a wonderful filter, but absolutely not suitable for shooting from the air.

    Works great from the air, set it up and that’s it.

    Added later (12 April 2018 – 18:16)

    So the polaric is adjusted by turning the filter, that is, the filter itself needs to be turned and in real time select the most correct angle of rotation when the reflections disappear.

    Other settings of the polar explorer are in real time:

    If you turn the circular polarizing filter backwards, you can get a neutral filter, when you rotate such a filter around its axis, you can shift the white balance to warm and cold tones, while the polarizing filter stops blocking polarized light.

    The effect can be achieved with special Tilt-shift lenses, but you can also simulate this effect in post-processing in Photoshop.

    If you don’t want to spend $ 2,500 on a lens like this to get the effect you want, here are some tips to help you do it with Photoshop CC.

    In addition to the actual retouching and software, I will give some tips for getting the most suitable source images.

    There are several ways to get a tilt-shift effect using Photoshop CC, but we will use a simple method that will give exactly the same results as using specialized equipment.

    1. Choose the most suitable image

    Choose a high vantage point (in your DJI Mavic Pro, Mavic Air or Phantom 4, I think it will be easy for you to do this) to achieve the atmosphere of the model (we always look on the model from a height). Choose a photo with enough detail, lots of elements and few blank spaces to give your photo a more impact.

    2. Step two

    In the “layers” menu, right-click on the preview, in the drop-down menu select “convert to smart object”.

    3. Step three

    Now in the top menu, click “filter”, then the pointer to the “blur gallery”, then select “tilt-offset”.

    4. Step four

    There are 2 panels on the right side of the screen: basic blur tools at the top with tilt-shift filter options and settings and a blur panel at the bottom with some additional bokeh settings.

    To move the field of focus, simply click in the center and drag to a new location, then release the mouse button.To change the strength of the impact, click on the “button” and you can move the lines up and down to change the place of the blur.

    5. Step five

    You can solve it differently, but I choose “symmetric distortion”

    6. Step six

    Select the “high quality” option for better detail … To achieve the most “toy” effect, it might make sense to tweak the colors a little (maybe add a little saturation).Top menu-image-correction-hue / saturation. Another important step to keep in mind is the correction of the brightness curves. Top menu-image-correction-curves. And finally, the last step is to add sharpness. I recommend cropping the image a little to remove all unnecessary surroundings for a more tilt-shift effect.

    When it comes to colors, curves and sharpening, don’t overdo it.

    I hope these short tips will help you discover a new and enjoyable way of shooting and then add a tilt-shift effect to some of your photos.

    Thank you for reading, enjoy flying with your drone.

    ps: The tilt-shift effect does not only work in photography, you can also use this technique with your video material. I’m using Final Cut Pro X, which makes it easy to add this effect to your footage as well.

    90,000 AstraZeneca vaccine startup to IPO in the US

    ALL NEWS

    WSJ: AstraZeneca vaccine startup to IPO in the US

    NEW YORK, April 7./ TASS /. UK-based Vaccitech, which helped develop a coronavirus vaccine for UK-Sweden company AstraZeneca, is planning an initial public offering (IPO) in the United States this week. This was reported on Wednesday by The Wall Street Journal, citing sources.

    According to her, the company, created in 2016, co-founded by scientists from the University of Oxford, can be valued at $ 700 million with a potential increase to $ 1 billion by the end of the year.Company executives want the company’s shares to trade on the Nasdaq electronic exchange. Several of the company’s current investors are expected to participate in the IPO process.

    Vaccitech plans to use the technology that became the basis for the coronavirus vaccine to develop drugs for prostate cancer, hepatitis B and human papillomavirus.

    The AstraZeneca vaccine is one of the most popular in the world: it was allowed to be used by more than 90 countries (including within the framework of the international COVAX mechanism, and the volume of pre-orders for the drug reaches about 2.5 billion doses.Some world leaders decided to be vaccinated with this particular vaccine, in particular, the presidents of Ukraine and South Korea, Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Moon Jae In, the Prime Ministers of Great Britain and Italy, Boris Johnson and Mario Draghi.

    Currently, the drug is still awaiting approval from the Food and Drug Administration under the US Department of Health and Human Services (FDA), but the company has already produced tens of millions of doses throughout the country. At the same time, the director of the National Institute of Allergic and Infectious Diseases of the United States, Anthony Fauci, expressed the opinion that the United States could vaccinate in the country without using the AstraZeneca vaccine.In addition, the company’s drug faced a number of challenges, including a shortage of production, as well as a potential side effect associated with the formation of blood clots.

    DRUGS ACE INHIBITORS IN THE TREATMENT OF ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION

    Drugs ACE inhibitors in the treatment of arterial hypertension – Assuta Hospital, Tel Aviv, Israel
    Enam – a representative of the class of drugs ACE inhibitors – treatment in the clinic Assuta

    Preparations ACE inhibitors.

    ACE inhibitors include:

    • Kapoten (captopril).
    • Enam (enap, enalopril, vazotec).
    • Privil (lisinopril).
    • Lotenzil (benazepril).
    • Monopril (fosinopril).
    • Altais (ramipril).
    • Accupril (quinopril).
    • Aseon (perindopril).
    • Mavic (trandolapril).
    • Univask (moexipril).

    The action of ACE inhibitor drugs is associated with inhibition of the synthesis in the kidneys of angiotensin, a substance that constricts blood vessels.It is formed from renin under the action of a special enzyme. ACE inhibitors block this enzyme. ACE inhibitors also reduce blood flow to the heart, which reduces stress on the heart and also protects the kidneys from the effects of hypertension and diabetes.

    In addition to arterial hypertension, ACE inhibitors are used for the treatment of some concomitant heart diseases, including heart failure, myocardial infarction, as well as for the prevention of kidney pathology due to hypertension and diabetes.

    Rules for taking ACE inhibitors.

    ACE inhibitors should be taken on an empty stomach 1 hour before meals. The frequency of taking the drug, the dosage and the interval between doses are indicated by the doctor.

    Do not take salt substitutes during treatment with ACE inhibitors. They contain potassium, and ACE inhibitors can cause potassium retention in the body. It is recommended that you avoid eating large amounts of potassium-rich foods. This does not mean that you need to completely abandon them, but consuming them in large quantities is not recommended.

    Avoid taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as nurofen, brufen, etc., as they lead to sodium and water retention in the body, which can reduce the effectiveness of ACE inhibitors.

    Regularly monitor blood pressure and renal function during treatment with ACE inhibitors.

    Never stop taking these drugs on your own, even if you feel they are not helping to lower your high blood pressure, without your doctor’s supervision. If ACE inhibitors have been prescribed to you for the treatment of heart failure, the symptoms of this disease may not go away immediately, but only after a certain time.However, a long course of ACE inhibitors can be very effective in treating heart failure.

    Is it possible to take ACE inhibitors for children.

    Yes. However, children are much more sensitive to the blood pressure effects of these drugs. Therefore, the risk of side effects in them is much higher than in adults.

    ACE inhibitors and pregnancy.

    The use of ACE inhibitors during pregnancy is not recommended, especially in the second and third trimester.These drugs can lower blood pressure, as well as impair kidney function and increase the level of potassium in a pregnant woman’s body. They can lead to fetal death or abnormalities.

    If a woman takes ACE inhibitors after childbirth, it is not recommended to breastfeed the baby, as these drugs are excreted in milk.

    Side effects of ACE inhibitors.

    • Dizziness and weakness. This side effect may be most pronounced after the first dose of the drug, especially if you are taking diuretics at the same time.
    • Swelling of the neck, face and tongue.
    • Salty or metallic taste in the mouth. Usually, this effect gradually goes away on its own.
    • Cough. If this symptom persists, see your doctor.
    • Renal dysfunction. Although the use of ACE inhibitors for hypertension has a positive effect on the kidneys, they can also have a negative effect.
    • Redness and itching of the skin.
    • Physical symptoms such as sore throat, fever, stomatitis, bruising, heart palpitations, chest pain, and leg swelling.
    • Increased blood potassium levels. This is a serious side effect, so people who are taking ACE inhibitors should have regular blood tests for potassium levels. Signs of increased potassium levels in the blood: confusion, irregular heartbeats, nervousness, numbness or tingling of the hands, feet or lips, shortness of breath, weakness and heaviness in the legs.
    • Severe vomiting or diarrhea.

    Enam.

    Enam belongs to drugs of ACE inhibitors.The mechanism of action of enam is that it inhibits the conversion of renin into angiotensin, a biologically active substance that leads to vasoconstriction and an increase in blood pressure.

    Indications for the use of enam.

    Enam is used for both hypertension and heart failure. It dilates blood vessels and, by lowering pressure, reduces blood flow to the heart. As a result, the load on the heart is also reduced. Enam can be used alone or in combination with other drugs to lower high blood pressure.It is also used immediately after myocardial infarction to reduce damage to the heart muscle. In addition, enam is used to prevent kidney pathology in diabetes mellitus.

    Application of enam during pregnancy and lactation.

    Enam is not recommended to be taken during pregnancy as it may harm the fetus.

    The drug is not recommended for women who are breastfeeding.

    Precautions before taking enam.

    Before taking enam, tell your doctor if you have any of the following conditions:

    • Allergy to any drugs.
    • Pathology of the kidneys, liver.
    • Blood vessel pathology.
    • Hyperkalemia.
    • Stroke.
    • Diabetes mellitus.
    • Dehydration.

    It is not recommended to drink alcohol while taking Enam.

    Due to the fact that the drug may cause dizziness, it is recommended to be careful when driving a car and other physical activity.

    Rules for the reception of enam.

    Enam is prescribed in doses from 2.5 to 40 mg 1-2 times a day. The dose of the drug depends on the degree of hypertension.

    Enam can also be prescribed during a hypertensive crisis, in which case the pill is placed under the tongue and dissolves.

    Side effects of enam.

    In general, enam is well tolerated and the side effects from it are minor and temporary. Almost all ACE inhibitors, including enam, have a dry cough as a side effect.After stopping the drug, the cough stops.

    Other possible side effects of enam include:

    • Headache.
    • Dizziness.
    • Sore throat.
    • Chest pain.
    • Abdominal pain.
    • Numbness of fingers and toes.
    • Nausea and vomiting.
    • Diarrhea.
    • Loss of appetite.
    • Fatigue.
    • Skin rash.
