The clinical studies show that combination of telmisartan and amlodipine provides additional benefits in the treatment of patients with metabolic syndrome (by improving the carbohydrate and lipid metabolism), patients with impaired renal function (by inducing the regression of proteinuria), as well as left ventricular hypertrophy (by causing regression of the latter).
