For patients with both hypertension and dyslipidemia, effective management of blood pressure and blood lipids can significantly lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Combination preparation can improve patient compliance by minimising the inconvenience of morning and night dosage of antihypertension drug and lipid-lowering drug. It can also promote simultaneous attainment of blood pressure and blood lipids targets, significantly lowering the risk of cardiovascular diseases. In addition, the combination preparation has higher efficacy than single drug treatment of amlodipine. — 2 — Hypertension is the most common chronic disease and is also the most major risk factor for cerebro- cardiovascular diseases. Its major complications include stroke, myocardial infarction, heart failure and chronic renal diseases. Dyslipidemia is an important risk factor for diseases associated with atherosclerosis. The coexistence of hypertension and dyslipidemia significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Patients with both hypertension and dyslipidemia should receive active antihypertension treatment and appropriate lipid-lowering treatment at the same time. The Group has been dedicated to developing the cardiovascular drugs market. The successful development of the antihypertension drug “Xuanning” (levamlodipine maleate) has formed a solid market foundation for the Group and built favourable market conditions for the launch of Levamlodipine Maleate/Atorvastatin Calcium Tablet in the future. The Product will be one of the key drugs under research and development in the cardiovascular area of the Group in the forthcoming years. The successful commencement of phase III clinical trial has also provided strong momentum for the drug research and development of the Group.
