24-month single-pill, triple antihypertensive therapy in rural Rwanda

Long-term management of arterial hypertension with a once-daily single-pill combination of amlodipine, hydrochlorothiazide, and olmesartan as initial therapy is feasible in a rural sub-Saharan African setting. Blood pressure reduction is sustained for at least 24 months. Single-pill combinations should be made accessible even in remote areas of low- and middle-income countries.

Abstract

Long-term management of arterial hypertension with a once-daily single-pill combination of amlodipine, hydrochlorothiazide, and olmesartan as initial therapy is feasible in a rural sub-Saharan African setting. Blood pressure reduction is sustained for at least 24 months. Single-pill combinations should be made accessible even in remote areas of low- and middle-income countries.
