E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The aim of this trial is to confirm the antihypertensive effect of Lorista tablets (50 mg of losartan) and Lorista-H tablets (fixed dose combination of 50 mg of losartan and 12,5 mg of hydrochlorothiazide) in patients with mild to moderate hypertension: •previously untreated or •those with hypertension unsuccessfully treated with monotherapy or combination of antihypertensive drugs (fixed dose or non-fixed dose combinations) or •in whom antihypertensive therapy needs to be changed due to adverse reactions experienced with previous antihypertensive therapy, and to establish the tolerance and the effect of therapy on the patient’s quality of life.
