Abstract

Modern approaches to antihypertension therapy suppose the usage of combination drugs, making significant positive influence on the values of systemic blood pressure (BP) in daily and nocturnal periods, optimization of 24-hour BP profile, achieved target BP in most of patients. Also, it is important to fulfill organ protection and vessel protection. To all these criteria does respond azilsartan medoxomil and its combination with chlorthalidone. The combination azilsartan/chlorthalidone shows serious antihypertension properties, including the patients with metabolic disorders, facilitates optimization of BP at night, decrease of vascular stiffness. Collection of positive properties of the combination makes it to apply broadly in real clinical practice to increase efficacy of hypertension patient’s management.
