Does nifedipine GITS reduce blood pressure and demonstrate safety in Chinese patients with hypertension?
Nifedipine GITS effectively reduces blood pressure and is well-tolerated in Chinese patients with hypertension in a real-world setting.
Huo et al. (2007) conducted an observational in hypertension (n=3,003). nifedipine GITS was evaluated on blood pressure control according to international guidelines. Nifedipine GITS reduced mean blood pressure by 27.6/13.6 mmHg over 13.3 weeks, with 45.0% of patients achieving blood pressure control according to international guidelines.
