Intervention(s) planned

Study setting : Specialist tertiary care centres Number of arms: Two

Patients in the intervention arm will start on the lower dose of the drug under investigation with the option to move to the higher dose if blood pressure is not controlled to the responsible clinician's satisfaction. Each dose version is taken as one tablet once a day for a total period of 6 months. Components of each dose version are as follows:

Strength 1: Low dose: Telmisartan 20mg, Amlodipine 2.5mg, Chlorthalidone 12.5 mg
Strength 2: High dose: Telmisartan 40mg, Amlodipine 5mg, Chlorthalidone 25 mg

The control group will receive usual blood pressure management provided by the responsible clinician according to current guidelines for a total period of 6 months


Inclusion criteria

  1. Adults 18 or more years of age
  2. Persistent (6 weeks) SBP > 140 mmHg and/or DBP > 90 mmHg (or SBP > 130 mmHg and/or DBP > 80mmHg in patients with diabetes mellitus or chronic kidney disease) despite diet and lifestyle advice and/or the use of single BP lowering drug therapy.
  3. Trial Investigator is unsure as to whether a Triple Pill based therapy or usual care is better.

Exclusion criteria

  1. On two or more BP lowering drugs

  2. Severe or uncontrolled BP (SBP > 180 mmHg and/or DBP > 110 mmHg)

  3. Accelerated hypertension or hypertension at a level where the physician feels that slower up titration of treatment is appropriate (e.g. elderly patients)

  4. Contraindication to any of the components of the Triple Pill

  5. Pregnancy, breast feeding, childbearing potential and not on effective medically accepted method of child birth control.

  6. Unstable medical condition or known situation where medication regimen might be altered for a significant length of time, e.g. current acute cardiovascular event, planned coronary bypass graft operation, dialysis.

  7. Participants with clinically significant abnormal laboratory value judged to be unsuitable for trial participation by the investigator.
