Economic evaluation of single-pill combination of indapamide and amlodipine in the treatment of arterial hypertension in the Polish setting.
CONCLUSIONS: The treatment with SPC of indapamide and amlodipine for hypertensive patients was found to be dominant over FC or at least less expensive then treatment with FC when the difference in effectiveness was neglected. The replacement of FC with SPC shall result in savings from both NHF perspective and NHF and patient's perspective. PMID: 25987296 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Polish Heart Journal)

Head-to-Head Comparisons of Hydrochlorothiazide With Indapamide and Chlorthalidone: Antihypertensive and Metabolic Effects [Meta-Analysis: Diuretics]
In conclusion, these head-to-head comparisons demonstrate that, like chlorthalidone, INDAP is more potent than HCTZ at commonly prescribed doses without evidence for greater adverse metabolic effects. (Source: Hypertension)

Dual-directional regulation of drug permeating amount by combining the technique of ion-pair complexation with chemical enhancers for the synchronous permeation of indapamide and bisoprolol in their compound patch through rabbit skin.
Abstract To achieve the synchronous skin permeation of indapamide (IND) and bisoprolol (BSP) in their compound patch, the technique of ion-pair complexation and chemical enhancers was combined to dual-directionally regulate drug permeating amounts. Ion-pair complexes of BSP and various organic acids were formed by the technique of ion-pair complexation. Among the complexes formed, bisoprolol tartrate (BSP.T) down-regulated the permeating amount of BSP to the same extent as that of IND. Then, to simultaneously up-regulate the amounts of the two drugs, an enhancer combination of 15.8% Span80 (SP), 6.0% Azone...

Comparison of single-pill strategies first line in hypertension: perindopril/amlodipine versus valsartan/amlodipine
Objectives: An international double-blind, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial was performed to determine the efficacy and safety of a new first-line strategy in mild to moderate hypertension based on a single-pill combination of perindopril/amlodipine versus a validated stepped-care strategy (initiation with valsartan monotherapy, up-titrating to valsartan/amlodipine after 2 months). Methods: At inclusion, patients received perindopril/amlodipine 3.5/2.5 mg or valsartan 80 mg. At 1, 2, and 3 months, patients were up-titrated if they had uncontrolled hypertension (≥140/90 mmHg). The up-titration steps were:...

Effects of blood pressure lowering on outcome incidence in hypertension: 4. Effects of various classes of antihypertensive drugs – Overview and meta-analyses
Conclusion: BP lowering by all classes of antihypertensive drugs is accompanied by significant reductions of stroke and major cardiovascular events. This supports the concept that reduction of these events is because of BP lowering per se rather than specific drug properties. However, evidence of risk reduction of other events and particularly mortality was obtained so far with some drug classes only. As a result of marked differences in the trial design, total cardiovascular risk, SBP/DBP differences and statistical power, comparisons of meta-analyses of different drug-specific placebo-controlled RCTs appear unwarranted. ...

Blood pressure control and acceptability of perindopril and its fixed dose combinations with amlodipine or indapamide, in younger patients with hypertension
Conclusion In patients requiring combination antihypertensive treatment, the regimen of perindopril alone or its FDC with Indapamide or amlodipine reduces blood pressure effectively, resulting in high rates of blood pressure control over the short term, with a low frequency of side effects including cough and pedal edema.
