Abbildung 30: Telmisartan - HCTZ
Reported here are selected arms from an 8-week, 4 x 5 factorial, multicentre, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-finding study conducted in 818 patients with mild-to-moderate hypertension.1 Patients were randomized to telmisartan 20 mg, 40 mg, 80 mg or 160 mg alone or in combination with HCTZ 6.25 mg, 12.5 mg, or 25 mg, giving a total of 20 treatment groups. Combination therapy significantly improved the SBP response rate compared with monotherapy (P<0.01). 1. McGill JB, Reilly PA.
