Summary

Combination of at least three antihypertensive drugs is needed in approximately 25–30% of all patients with hypertension. According to the current guidelines, the combination of a RAS blocker, calcium-channel blocker and diuretics is considered to be a combination of choice suitable for all severe forms of hypertension. The article introduces the first available fixed triple combination of perindopril-arginine, amlodipine and indapamide, which is a new option for hypertension. The article includes a brief description of characteristics, indications and clinical experience.

Keywords:
hypertension – combination therapy – perindopril – amlodipine – indapamide
