| abstract |
The present invention provides a pharmaceutical formulation comprising an immediate-release compartment containing an angiotensin-2 receptor blocker (ARB) as a pharmacologically active ingredient and an extended-release compartment containing a non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker as a pharmacologically active ingredient. Since the disclosed formulation enables the release of the two ingredients at a different time, it reduces side effects and increases the effects of the drug more than the case of separately administering the ingredients each at the same time. In addition, the formulation maximizes the effects of drug at the time of day when the complication risk of cardiovascular system diseases is highest. |
