Study Overview

Brief Summary

This study is designed as a multicentric controlled trial in patients with Zaghtuddam Qawi Lazmi (Essential Hypertension). The patient will be evaluated for hypertension at 3 consecutive visits at the same time & if blood pressure is found to be persistently high during rest (both mental and physical) the patient will be subjected to screening. After screening, participants will be divided into 2 arms. First arm will receive the study drug–UNIM-904 in the dose of 5 gm BD while the second arm will receive standard anti-hypertensive drug Amlodipine 5 mg OD.

The total duration of treatment will be 12 weeks and the follow-up for all clinical parameters will be conducted weekly for 4 weeks and once in 2 weeks thereafter. The laboratory tests will be conducted at baseline, 2 weeks and last follow-up.
