Description | The article gives an overview of the risk factors for hypertension and the appropriate indication for using a fixed combination of telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide. It cites large, multi-centre clinical trials that demonstrate the efficacy and safety of telmisartan in patients with hypertension and also a meta-analysis of treatment with either telmisartan alone (TELMI) or in combination with hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) which shows that it is a very well tolerated and safe treatment for patients across a wide age range. |
