Background: An equivalent efficacy compared with racemic amlodipine with reduced or insignificant peripheral edema makes S-amlodipine a costeffective treatment alternative in hypertension. S-amlodipine has also been proven to be effective, safe, and well-tolerated even when used as combination therapy with other antihypertensive agents. S-amlodipine has added benefits in optimizing atherogenic lipids and reduces cardiovascular outcomes. The present review was performed to assess the health economics of the use of S-amlodipine in hypertension.
Methods: Authors conducted a systematic review of published literature to evaluate the health economics and outcomes research of the use of S-amlodipine in hypertension treatment. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines were used to report this review.
