Efficacy & effects

Improvement in blood pressure control for essential hypertension

  • Essential hypertension
View approved original text

This medication is used for patients with essential hypertension whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with monotherapy using amlodipine or telmisartan. In other words, it helps effectively lower blood pressure and manage it in cases where existing treatments are insufficient. This contributes to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and reduces the occurrence of complications. This drug assists in controlling the patient's blood pressure to support a healthy lifestyle.
