Tarka contains two active ingredients: trandolapril and verapamil. It is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults.

High blood pressure occurs when the force of blood against the walls of the arteries remains too high over time. If left untreated, hypertension can increase the risk of serious health problems, including heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems.

Tarka combines two different types of blood pressure medications that work together to help lower blood pressure more effectively.

What is Tarka used for?

Hypertension (high blood pressure)

Tarka is used to help control high blood pressure in adults who require treatment with both an ACE inhibitor and a calcium channel blocker.

By lowering blood pressure, Tarka helps reduce the strain on the heart and blood vessels, which may lower the risk of complications associated with long-term hypertension.

How Tarka works

Tarka belongs to a class of medications called combination antihypertensive agents. It contains two medications with different mechanisms of action:

Trandolapril

Trandolapril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor.

It works by blocking the production of angiotensin II, a natural substance in the body that causes blood vessels to tighten. By reducing angiotensin II activity, trandolapril helps blood vessels relax and widen, allowing blood to flow more easily and lowering blood pressure.

Verapamil

Verapamil is a calcium channel blocker.

It works by reducing the movement of calcium into heart and blood vessel cells. This helps relax and widen blood vessels, slows the heart rate, and reduces the amount of work the heart needs to do.

Benefits of treatment

By combining trandolapril and verapamil, Tarka may help:

  • Lower blood pressure
  • Relax blood vessels
  • Reduce the workload on the heart
  • Improve overall blood pressure control

Tarka is usually taken as part of a complete blood pressure management plan that may also include a healthy diet, regular physical activity, weight management, and other lifestyle changes recommended by your healthcare provider.

Important treatment information

Take Tarka exactly as prescribed, even if you feel well. High blood pressure often does not cause noticeable symptoms, but ongoing treatment is important to reduce the risk of long-term complications.

Your healthcare provider may regularly monitor your blood pressure, kidney function, and potassium levels to ensure the medication remains safe and effective.

Tarka contains the active ingredients trandolapril and verapamil and is available as an oral tablet. Take Tarka exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

It is usually taken once daily with food. Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not crush, chew, split, or break the tablet, as this may affect how the medication is released and absorbed.

Take Tarka at the same time each day to help maintain consistent blood pressure control. Follow the instructions on your prescription label carefully and ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist if you have questions about how to take your medication.

Do not take more or less than the prescribed dose or take it more often than directed. Do not stop taking Tarka suddenly without first speaking with your healthcare provider, even if you feel well, as your blood pressure may increase.

Recommended dosage

The recommended dose of Tarka is usually one tablet once daily with food.

Tarka tablets are available in different strengths, including combinations of:

  • 2 mg trandolapril / 180 mg verapamil
  • 2 mg trandolapril / 240 mg verapamil

Your healthcare provider will choose the most appropriate strength based on factors such as:

  • Your current blood pressure levels
  • Your response to treatment
  • Other medications you take
  • Your kidney function
  • Your overall medical history

Your dose may be adjusted if your blood pressure is not adequately controlled or if you experience side effects.

Important treatment reminders

  • Take Tarka regularly, even if you do not have symptoms of high blood pressure.
  • Continue following your recommended lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise recommendations.
  • Inform your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, and supplements you take.
  • Contact your healthcare provider if you experience side effects or have concerns about your treatment.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Do not take Tarka if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant unless specifically instructed by your healthcare provider.

Trandolapril, one of the ingredients in Tarka, can cause serious harm or even death to an unborn baby, especially during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.

If you become pregnant while taking Tarka, stop taking the medication and contact your healthcare provider immediately for medical advice.

It is not known whether the ingredients in Tarka pass into breast milk. Talk to your healthcare provider before breastfeeding while taking this medication.

Drowsiness and alcohol

Tarka may cause dizziness, drowsiness, or tiredness in some people.

Do not drive, operate machinery, or perform activities requiring alertness until you know how Tarka affects you.

Avoid alcohol while taking Tarka, as alcohol can increase dizziness, drowsiness, and the risk of side effects.

Liver problems

In rare cases, Tarka may cause liver problems.

Contact your healthcare provider immediately if you experience symptoms that may indicate liver injury, including:

  • Dark urine
  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice)
  • Unusual tiredness
  • Loss of appetite
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Stomach pain or discomfort
  • Pale or light-coloured stools

Your healthcare provider may perform blood tests to monitor liver function if needed.

Heart-related risks

Tarka may affect heart function in some people.

It may cause or worsen certain heart problems, including:

  • Slow heartbeat (bradycardia)
  • Worsening heart failure
  • Fluid buildup in the lungs (pulmonary edema)

Tarka may not be appropriate for people with certain serious heart conditions, including severe heart failure, certain heart rhythm problems, or other significant heart abnormalities.

Tell your healthcare provider if you have a history of heart disease, heart failure, irregular heartbeat, or other heart conditions before starting Tarka.

Grapefruit interactions

Avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice while taking Tarka.

Grapefruit can interfere with how verapamil is broken down in the body, which may increase the amount of medication in your bloodstream and raise the risk of side effects.

Other important reminders

Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, and supplements you take before starting Tarka.

Do not stop taking Tarka suddenly without medical advice, as your blood pressure may increase and your condition may worsen.

Is Tarka safe to take during pregnancy?

No. Tarka should not be used during pregnancy unless specifically directed by a healthcare provider. Trandolapril, one of the ingredients in Tarka, can cause serious harm to an unborn baby, particularly during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. If you become pregnant while taking Tarka, contact your healthcare provider immediately. Talk to your healthcare provider before using Tarka while breastfeeding, as it is not known whether the medication passes into breast milk.

Can Tarka interact with other medications?

Yes. Tarka can interact with certain prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, supplements, and herbal remedies. Tell your healthcare provider and pharmacist about all medications and supplements you take before starting Tarka. Some medications may affect how Tarka works or increase the risk of side effects, including changes in blood pressure, heart rate, kidney function, or potassium levels.

How long does Tarka take to work?

Tarka begins lowering blood pressure after you start taking it, but the full benefit may take time. Some people may notice improvements within the first few days, while it may take 1 to 2 weeks or longer to see the full blood pressure-lowering effect. Continue taking Tarka as prescribed, even if you do not notice immediate changes. Your healthcare provider will monitor your blood pressure and adjust your treatment if needed.

Can I stop taking Tarka if my blood pressure improves?

No. Do not stop taking Tarka without first speaking with your healthcare provider. High blood pressure often does not cause symptoms, and stopping treatment suddenly may cause your blood pressure to rise again. Continue taking Tarka exactly as prescribed, even if your blood pressure readings have improved or you feel well.

What should I do if I miss a dose of Tarka?

If you miss a dose of Tarka, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time or take extra medication to make up for a missed dose. If you frequently miss doses, speak with your healthcare provider or pharmacist about ways to help you remember your medication.
