International journal of pharmacy and pharmaceutical scienceSummary: Objective:The main objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the effects of both treatments on systolic and diastolic blood pressure in 4th, and 8th weeks with baselineMethods:A prospective, comparative, Open-label, and parallel-group clinical study was conducted in out patient's department of general medicine at Osmania general hospital. 120 patients were randomly allocated into 2 groups. Group 1 with 60 patients received Tab: Telmisartan 40 mg+Amlodipine 5 mg once daily, and Group 2 with 60 patients received Tab: Telmisartan 40 mg+ Chlorthalidone 6.25 mg once daily for a period of 8 w. Follow-up was done in the 4th week and 8th week to evaluate the safety and efficacy in hypertensive patients.Results: The differences in the SBP, DBP, and HR in group A (P value<0.001) and group B (P value<0.001) at the 4th week and 8th week follow-up periods with baseline value (0 w) were statistically significant as P value<0.05.Conclusion: The combination of telmisartan plus amlodipine is equally effective as the combination of telmisartan plus chlorthalidone in decreasing SBP, DBP, HR, and MAP.
