Statistical Modeling of Intermittent Amlodipine Dosing Using Monte Carlo Simulation and Real-World Blood Pressure Data

Key Points

The study demonstrates that intermittent dosing of amlodipine can yield significant effects on controlling hypertension.
Using real-world blood pressure data, the analysis reveals that optimized dosing schedules could improve patient adherence rates.

Structured PICO

Does intermittent amlodipine dosing affect blood pressure control in patients with hypertension?

Population

Adults with hypertension (modeled using real-world blood pressure data)

Intervention

Intermittent amlodipine dosing (evaluated via Monte Carlo simulation)

Abstract

Hypertension affects over 1.28 billion adults worldwide, yet treatment adherence remains low. Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker with a long half-life, is commonly prescribed once daily, but many patients self-modify their dosing schedules. This study evaluated the effect
