Efficacy & effects

Improvement in blood pressure control for essential hypertension

  • Essential hypertension
View approved original text

This medication helps manage blood pressure more effectively in patients with essential hypertension whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled by monotherapy with amlodipine or telmisartan. Essential hypertension is a chronic condition that requires long-term management, and through the use of this medication, blood pressure can be lowered steadily, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular complications. Therefore, this medication is used to improve blood pressure in patients who have difficulty controlling their blood pressure.
