Exforge Helps Vast Majority of Patients Effectively Control Their,Blood Pressure After Failing on Other Medicines, According to New,Clinical Data

  • 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 at treatment target levels[2] and most require two or more medications to achieve goal[2]
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].
The study - designed to assess the use of Exforge in a real-life treatment environment - showed that patients who had failed to reach the recommended blood pressure goal of 140/90 mmHg (systolic/diastolic pressure) on a range of si
