6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical studies are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical studies of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical studies of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
Amlodipine and olmesartan medoxomil tablets The data described below reflect exposure to amlodipine and olmesartan medoxomil tablets in more than 1600 patients including more than 1,000 exposed for at least 6 months and more than 700 exposed for 1 year.
Amlodipine and olmesartan medoxomil tablets were studied in one placebo-controlled factorial trial [ see Clinical Trials (14.1) ].
The population had a mean age of 54 years and included approximately 55% males.
Seventy-one percent were Caucasian and 25% were Black.
Patients received doses ranging from 5/20 mg to 10/40 mg orally once daily.
The overall incidence of adverse reactions on therapy with amlodipine and olmesartan medoxomil tablets were similar to that seen with corresponding doses of the individual components of amlodipine and olmesartan medoxomil tablets, and to placebo.
