Summary

This is a randomised, open-label; parallel group, multicentric study comparing the efficacy and safety of fixed-dose-combinations of Metoprolol XL plus Amlodipine with individual components of the combination. SelomaxTM50/5 will also be compared with SelomaxTM 25/2. 5 in lowering of BP (SBP and DBP) in Indian patients with essential hypertension. Male and female patients of essential hypertension aged between 18-80 years will be studied. The patients should not have a history of prior cardiovascular disease.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Five-Arm, Randomised, Open Label, Multi-Centre, Prospective Study to Compare the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Metoprolol XL Plus Amlodipine Combination (Selomax TM) With Metoprolol XL and Amlodipine as Individual Components in Management of Hypertension in Indian Patients.

Study design: Treatment, Randomized, Open Label, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study

Primary outcome: Change in BP with Selomax™ 50/5 at the end of the randomisation treatment period.

Secondary outcome:

Change in BP (SBP,DBP & mean BP) with SelomaxTM 25/2.5 at the end of the randomisation period.

Change in the heart rate,Number of responders & control rates.

Incidence of adverse events (serious and non-serious) in each arm.Change in hemogram, serum chemistry (Liver function tests (LFT), Renal function tests (RFT), plasma lipids, Blood Glucose, HbA1c), and Ur.albumin
