A Pharmacodynamic Study to Evaluate the Effect of a Fixed Dose Combination Pill on Blood Pressure

June 20, 2012 updated by: Ferrer Internacional S.A.

Cardiovascular Fixed Dose Combination Pill: A Pharmacodynamic Interaction Study to Evaluate the Effect of a Fixed Dose Combination of Acetylsalicylic Acid, Simvastatin and Ramipril (Cardiovascular Fixed Dose Combination Pill) on Blood Pressure

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect on systolic pressure of the 3 drugs given together in the cardiovascular combination pill (acetylsalicylic acid, simvastatin, and ramipril) to the effect on systolic pressure of ramipril given alone.
