Abstract

1.28 billion people suffer from hypertension, and its complications cause 10 million deaths each year. Effective antihypertensive therapy is therefore one of the priority tasks of health care. Achieving good BP control depends on many factors, but one of the primary ones is the use of maximally effective therapy in the simplest possible regimen. Amlodipine in combination with telmisartan in the single-pill combination, through its high smoothness index, makes it possible to achieve a satisfactory hypotensive effect lasting 24 h when taken once daily. This combination is also a good alternative for cardiovascularly burdened patients who cannot use angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and for elderly patients, especially after stroke.
