| Description | We present an overview of current opinions on combination therapy and the role of fixed combinations in the treatment of hypertension as per the ESH/ESC and CSH guidelines of 2012. A renin-angiotensin system blocker (inhibitor ACE or sartan) combined with a calcium channel blocker is the most frequently recommended combination, followed by renin-angiotensin system blocker and a diuretic. Higher patient´s compliance and thus better control of hypertension is the main advantage of fixed combinations. |
