Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
In this study, Amlodipine has been used to study its effects in newly diagnosed hypertensive patients.
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |

Phase 4 |
Detailed Description
The incidence of hypertension is on the rise in developing countries like Pakistan. Different medications are used to decrease blood pressure with Amlodipine as one of the first-line drugs. It was proposed that due to interaction with calcium and thus luminal cholecystokinin releasing factor; Amlodipine might increase the cholesterol level and thus cause dyslipidemia.
Objective: In this regard, this study was conducted to look into the effects of Amlodipine in newly diagnosed cases of hypertension that had received no medication previously.
Methodology: Experimental study with a healthy control group with the sample size calculated out to be 80, comprising of an equal number of enrolment into case and control groups.
