Widaplik (amlodipine, indapamide and telmisartan) is a single pill, triple combination therapy for the treatment of hypertension, including initiation of treatment.
- Hypertension (high blood pressure) occurs when the force of blood flowing through the blood vessels is too high (≥140/90 mmHg).
- Globally recognized treatment guidelines recommend the use of fixed dose combination therapy for most patients with hypertension, including for first-line treatment, as most patients require two or more medicines to achieve control.
- Widaplik is a combination of low doses of amlodipine (a calcium channel blocker), indapamide (an indoline antihypertensive/diuretic), and telmisartan (an angiotensin II receptor blocker) that work together to deliver rapid and effective blood pressure control.
- FDA approval was based on positive results from two international Phase 3 trials, which compared Widaplik against placebo and against dual combinations of its component drugs. In both trials Widaplik significantly improved blood pressure and control rates vs comparators.
- Widaplik tablets are administered orally, once daily.
- The Widaplik product label carries a Boxed Warning for fetal toxicity. Warnings and precautions associated with Widaplik include hypotension, electrolyte and glucose imbalances, impaired renal function, acute angle closure glaucoma, and hyperuricemia.
- The most common adverse reaction is symptomatic hypotension.
