Aliskiren 300 mg film coated tablets
Losartan 100 mg tablets
Amlodipine 5mg was given to patients who did not achieve the required blood pressure (\<140/90 mmHg) after 8 weeks (visit 3)of treatment at the maximum doses of study medication in addition to the study medication in order to reach the required BP. at visit 4 (week 18) the dose of amlodipine was increased to 10mg if the required level (\<140/90 mmHg) was still not achieved.
HCTZ 12.5mg was prescribed at visit 5 (week 26) if the required values (\<140/90 mmHg) had not been reached.
