Evaluation of Clinical Acceptability of Perindopril / Indapamide Single-pill Combination in Moderate to Severe Hypertension.

Background: Current European hypertension guidelines recommend to initiate the treatment of patients with moderate to severe hypertension with a Single Pill Combination (SPC) containing two drugs, as SPC use leads to more effective and faster blood pressure control. The guidelines also recommend tighter blood pressure control in hypertensive patients with cardiovascular risk factors such as diabetes mellitus.

Objective: To evaluate efficacy on blood pressure reduction and acceptability of the single pill combination of Perindopril/Indapamide in patients with moderate to severe hypertension.
