| abstract |
Lercanidipine is used in the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of hypertension in combination with the prior, concurrent or post-administration of an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and optionally, a diuretic. Compositions containing both lercanidipine and the ARB, and optionally, a diuretic are contemplated. Single, once-a-day dosage forms are preferred. A method for the treatment of hypertension in a sub-population of patients with tachycardia is also recited. |
