Efficacy and safety of Azelnidipine-Telmisartan vs. Amlodipine-Telmisartan: a prospective randomized trial in Indian hypertensive patients

Collectively, the study confirms that FDC of Azelnidipine-Telmisartan is as effective as the commonly used FDC of Amlodipine-Telmisartan combination for management of hypertension, with additional safety benefits related to heart rate and edema. These findings support the clinical utility of Azelnidipine in hypertensive patients with concerns associated with tachycardia or pedal edema.
