Efficacy & effects

Improvement in the control of essential hypertension

  • Essential hypertension
View approved original text

This medication is used for patients with essential hypertension who do not achieve sufficient blood pressure control with either telmisartan or amlodipine monotherapy alone. In other words, it is used to provide better blood pressure control in cases where existing treatment has not been effective. This helps to lower blood pressure reliably and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications.
