Treatment of Hypertensive Patients with a Fixed-Dose Combination of Bisoprolol and Amlodipine: Results of a Cohort study with More Than 10,000 Patients

摘要

Introduction Many patients need more than one antihypertensive agent for effective blood pressure (BP) control. Prescription of a fixed-dose combination (FDC) of bisoprolol and amlodipine in one tablet has been shown to significantly improve patient adherence. This non-interventional study investigated the effects on adherence and BP control of switching from a free-dose combination of the two antihypertensive substances to a FDC in a larger patient population.
