move to transition Tritace from capsule to tablet formulation. Capsules will be completely phased out
by 3 November 2003, and only the tablet formulation of Tritace available. It has been established by
clinical trial work that Tritace capsules and Tritace tablets are bio-equivalent and that it is just the
presentation that is changing.

The new Tritace tablet formulations (1.25mg, 2.5mg, 5mg & 10mg Tritace tablets) will be included
in the drug dictionary release that will be received by practices week commencing
20 October 2003.

In the same October release, Tritace capsule formulations (1.25mg, 2.5mg, 5mg & 10mg Tritace
capsules excluding the Tritace titration pack) will be discontinued."

interchangeable. To help practices identify the patients who have changed brands, a small

were previously prescribed an alternate generic or brand name.
