- Nine out of 10 non-diabetic patients treated with
Exforge achieved recommended blood pressure goals[1]
- Additional average decrease of 20 mmHg in
systolic blood pressure observed in patients taking Exforge over
reductions seen with previous monotherapy[1]
- Nearly 70% of those with high blood pressure not

BASEL, Switzerland, May 21, 2007 - Exforge®,
a single-tablet combination of two of the world's most commonly
prescribed high blood pressure medicines[3],[4], has been shown in
new clinical data to have helped nine out of 10 non-diabetic
patients to reach their treatment goals after having previously
failed to do so with single medicines[1].
The results showed patients taking Exforge
experienced on average an additional 20 mmHg drop in systolic blood
pressure compared to reductions seen with their previous
medication[1]. The data from this trial involving 894 patients were
presented today at the Annual Scientific Meeting of the American
Society of Hypertension (ASH) in Chicago.
The efficacy of Exforge, which combines the
angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) valsartan (Diovan®) and the
calcium channel blocker (CCB) amlodipine in one tablet, was again
demonstrated in this trial, even in patients considered to be more
difficult to treat such as the elderly or those with type 2
diabetes[1]. Exforge was well-tolerated at the doses used in this
trial[1].
