“…Most of these patients had their dose changed after 8 weeks of treatment. However, it has been shown that patients' BP continues to fall for up to 4-5 months after starting treatment with lercanidipine, 19 so it is possible that some patients had their dose increased unnecessarily. There was some evidence to suggest that there was a better response in the lercanidipine group in those patients who required titration to the higher dose, but the treatment difference was not statistically significant.…”

“…Studies have shown that during treatment with lercanidipine tablets, patients' blood pressure continues to fall up to 4 to 5 months after starting treatment. 11 It is therefore probable that a dose increase was unnecessary for some patients.…”

“…It is known that peripheral oedema can take time to develop, but during 12 months of treatment with 10 mg lercanidipine in a previous study only 1.4% of patients had ankle oedema. 11 In addition, a study by Borghi et al 14 showed that peripheral oedema may affect fewer patients with lercanidipine than with other dihydropyridines. In this study, a group of 115 hypertensive patients currently being treated with amlodipine, nifedipine GITS, nitrendipine, or felodipine were switched to treatment with lercanidipine (10-20 mg/day) for 4 weeks and then re-challenged with their original treatment for a further 4 weeks.…”

“…Кроме того, по-казатели приверженности к лечению на лерканидипи-не превосходили по сравнению с таковыми в группах больных, принимавших другие АК. Эти данные объ-ясняются тем, что одним из важных преимуществ лер-канидипина в сравнении с другими представителями этой группы является более низкая частота развития пери-ферических отеков -наиболее частого побочного эф-фекта АК [40][41]. Следует также отметить, что по спо-собности обеспечить регресс ГЛЖ у лиц с АГ леркани-дипин превосходит БРА лозартан и сопоставим с ИАПФ эналаприлом [44,45].…”
