Fixed dose combination of two antihypertensive drugs and statin in hypertensive patients in clinical practice

Abstract

Medical care of hypertensive patients involves besides efforts to lower blood pressure also efforts to reduce other cardiovascular risk factors. One of the most common risk factors is dyslipidemia.

This paper describes two case histories of patients in whom we used fixed dose combination of perindopril arginine + amlodipine + atorvastatin. Fixed dose combinations improves adherence to treatment.

The two case histories mentioned in a present paper shows that this fixed dose combination might be used in treatment naïve patients as well as method how to increase efficiency or how to simplify existing therapy.
