[Antihypertensive treatment: the winning combination]

Detecting, treating and controlling hypertension remains a primary goal in health policy. New recommendations in the management of hypertension were published in 2023 to withhold its global pandemic. The first step is to initiate dual antihypertensive therapy in most of the cases by combining 2 molecules from different classes in a single tablet. Subsequent steps involve ensuring blood pressure control and, if indicated, combining other drug classes, again as a single pill combination (SPC). These polypills make it possible to reduce blood pressure more effectively, to offer earlier cardioprotection and to increase patient's compliance while simplifying their treatment and eliminating adverse effects. In this article, we will focus on the combination of antihypertensive classes as a revolutionary paradigm.
