AB First-line combination therapy with aliskiren and amlodipine provided greater reductions in blood pressure (BP) levels and higher rates of BP control compared with amlodipine monotherapy in patients with moderate or severe hypertension, according to new findings from a prospective trial. Combination therapy was also well tolerated, suggesting an important role for aliskiren/amlodipine in the management of patients with type 2 hypertension.
