3 studies gave telmisartan + amlodipine + indapamide to people and measured what changed.

What did studies of Telmisartan + amlodipine + indapamide find?
2
Studies of Telmisartan + amlodipine + indapamide measured 2 outcomes; the most studied are systolic blood pressure (2 studies) and blood pressure variability (1).

Telmisartan + amlodipine + indapamide decreases systolic blood pressure in humans (hypertension; placebo-controlled trial) (Maximum reduction within 1 week; no apparent additional reduction thereafter.).
“SBP was reduced rapidly, with the maximum decrement occurring within 1 week after randomization and no apparent additional reduction thereafter.”

Telmisartan + amlodipine + indapamide decreases systolic blood pressure in humans (prior intracerebral hemorrhage; added to usual care versus matching placebo) (15/7 mmHg systolic/diastolic reduction versus placebo at 6 weeks; 9/4 mmHg averaged over all follow-up).
“The overall BP difference at 6 weeks was 15/7 mmHg and averaged 9/4 mmHg over all follow-up”

Telmisartan + amlodipine + indapamide decreases blood pressure variability in humans (Systolic SD difference −2.05 mmHg (95% CI −2.73 to −1.36); diastolic SD difference −0.84 mmHg (95% CI −1.24 to −0.43); VIM unchanged).
“a low-dose triple single-pill combination reduced SD, CV and ARV of systolic and diastolic BP variability compared with placebo, but not VIM.”

The pill lowered the upper blood pressure reading by 15 mmHg and the lower by 7 mmHg versus placebo at six weeks.The pill lowered the upper blood pressure reading by 15 mmHg and the lower by 7 mmHg versus placebo at six weeks.
The spread of upper blood pressure readings, measured by standard deviation, was 2.05 mmHg lower with the pill than with placebo.The spread of upper blood pressure readings, measured by standard deviation, was 2.05 mmHg lower with the pill than with placebo.
