(Amlodipine / Telmisartan)
Indications and Usage
Chartoreg Co® (amlodipine/telmisartan) tablets are indicated for the treatment of hypertension, either:
- As monotherapy, or
- In combination with other antihypertensive agents,
to effectively lower blood pressure.
Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events, particularly:
- Stroke
- Myocardial infarction
These benefits have been demonstrated in controlled clinical trials involving antihypertensive drugs from multiple pharmacological classes, including:
- Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs)
- Dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers (CCBs)
Clinical Benefits of Blood Pressure Control
- Blood pressure reduction itself—rather than other drug-specific effects—is primarily responsible for cardiovascular risk reduction.
- The most consistent benefit observed is a reduced risk of stroke, with additional reductions in:
- Myocardial infarction
- Cardiovascular mortality
- Even modest reductions in severe hypertension can provide substantial clinical benefit.
- Relative risk reduction is similar across populations, but absolute benefit is greater in high-risk patients, such as those with:
- Diabetes
- Hyperlipidemia
Comprehensive Cardiovascular Risk Management
Blood pressure control should be part of a broader risk-reduction strategy that may include:
- Lipid management
- Diabetes control
- Antithrombotic therapy
- Smoking cessation
- Regular exercise
- Reduced sodium intake
Many patients will require more than one antihypertensive drug to achieve target blood pressure goals.
Special Considerations
- Some antihypertensive drugs may have reduced efficacy as monotherapy in certain populations (e.g., Black patients).
- Many agents also have additional indications, such as:
- Angina
- Heart failure
- Diabetic kidney disease
These factors may influence therapy selection.
Initial Therapy Use
Chartoreg Co® tablets may be used as initial therapy in patients who are likely to require multiple agents to achieve blood pressure control.
When selecting Chartoreg Co® as initial therapy, consider:
- Baseline blood pressure
- Target blood pressure goals
- Patient risk profile
- Likelihood of achieving control with combination therapy versus monotherapy
- Patient tolerance of the starting dose
Patients with moderate to severe hypertension are at increased risk of:
- Cardiovascular events
- Kidney failure
- Vision impairment
