Important Safety Information
This is not a complete list of all possible side effects. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience any unexpected symptoms. For serious or life-threatening side effects, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following is discussed in more detail in other sections of the labeling: • Fetal toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] • Hypotension [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] • Electrolyte and Glucose Imbalances [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] • Impaired Renal Function [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] • Acute Angle-Closure Glaucoma, Acute Myopia, and Choroidal Effusion [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] • Hyperuricemia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )] The most common adverse reaction is symptomatic hypotension.
Low sodium and potassium values were recorded more often with Widaplik compared to placebo ( 6.1 ).

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical studies are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reactions rates observed in the clinical studies of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical studies of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.
Widaplik Safety data were obtained from two randomized controlled studies that included 1,680 randomized patients with hypertension of whom 782 received Widaplik.
Given the well-established safety profiles of the component medicines, only serious adverse events and the following adverse events of special interest were recorded: symptomatic hypotension, abnormal laboratory findings (sodium, potassium, uric acid, glucose, lipids, creatinine, eGFR), headache, peripheral edema, or other reason for discontinuation of study medication.
Study 1 In Study 1 (NCT04518306), 295 adult patients who were not receiving antihypertensive treatment for two weeks with baseline home systolic blood pressure 130-154 mmHg were randomized in a 2:2:1 ratio to Widaplik (10 mg/1.25 mg/0.625 mg), Widaplik (20 mg/2.5 mg/1.25 mg), or placebo.
The study was 4 weeks in duration and randomized 232 patients to Widaplik and 63 to placebo.
The proportion of patients who discontinued study medication due to an adverse event was 0% for Widaplik (10 mg/1.25 mg/0.625 mg), 5.1% for Widaplik (20 mg/2.5 mg/1.25 mg), and 1.6% for placebo.
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypotension: Correct volume depletion prior to initiation ( 5.2 ) Electrolyte and Glucose Imbalances: Monitor serum electrolytes and glucose ( 5.3 ) Impaired Renal Function: Monitor renal function ( 5.4 ) Acute angle closure glaucoma can develop ( 5.5 ) Hyperuricemia may occur ( 5.6 ) 5.1 Fetal Toxicity Use of drugs that act on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy reduces fetal renal function and increases fetal and neonatal morbidity and death.
Resulting oligohydramnios can be associated with fetal lung hypoplasia and skeletal deformations.
Potential neonatal adverse effects include skull hypoplasia, anuria, hypotension, renal failure, and death.
When pregnancy is detected, discontinue Widaplik as soon as possible [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 ) ].
5.2 Hypotension Widaplik can cause symptomatic hypotension.
Like all medications, Widaplik can cause side effects. However, not everyone who takes this medication will experience them. Many side effects are dose-dependent and may improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Others may require dose adjustment or medical attention.
