CO–AMLESSA – EFFECTIVE ORGANOPROTECTIVE DRUG COMBINATION IN TREATING HYPERTENSION OF OLD PATIENTS WITH CO- AND POLYMORBID DISEASES

The main problem of hypertension treatment is an effective control of blood pressure (BP) ensuring, which should be kept up to 140/90 mm Hg. There are often combination of hypertension with other diseases (diabetes, podagra, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, coronary heart disease and so on.) in older people, which requires an integrated assessment of human health and regard to interaction of drugs assigned.

Conclusions. Appointment of Сo-Amlessa for old patients with co- and polymorbidity manifested significant hypotensive effect, which is held during the day, accompanied by patronage organs–targets and manifests a high adherence of patients
