Abstract: A method for the prevention and/or treatment of a disease caused by hypertension comprising administering to a mammal, such as a human, in need thereof pharmaceutically effective amounts of (5-methyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxolen-4-yl)methyl 4-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-2-propyl-1-[[2?-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl(biphenyl-4-yl]methyl]imidazol-5-carboxylate and a calcium channel blocker which is amlodipine or amlodipine besylate.

Abstract: Methods for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of arteriosclerosis, hypertension, restenosis, heart diseases, renal diseases and cerebrovascular diseases by administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising the following active ingredients: (A) an angiotensin II receptor antagonist selected from the group consisting of a compound having a formula (I), a pharmacologically acceptable ester thereof and a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof (for example, olmesartan medoxomil), the compound having the following formula: and (B) a calcium channel blocker selected from the group consisting of a 1,4-dihydropyridine compound and a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof (for example, azelnidipine), wherein the composition does not include the combination of olmesartan medoxomil and amlodipine or amlodipine besylate.

Abstract: Methods for the prevention and/or treatment of arteriosclerosis and restenosis following percutaneous coronary intervention or sudden death and for the inhibition of vascular smooth muscle cells, neointima formulation of blood vessels or vascular remodeling comprising administering to a mammal, such as a human, in need thereof pharmaceutically effective amounts of an angiotensin II receptor antagonist which is (5-methyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxolen-4-yl)methyl 4-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-2-propyl-1-[[2?-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-yl]methyl]imidazol-5-carboxylate and a calcium channel blocker which is amlodipine or amlodipine besylate.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition comprising the following active ingredients: (A) an angiotensin II receptor antagonist which is (5-methyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxolen-4-yl)methyl 4-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-2-propyl-1 [[2?-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-yl]methyl]imidazol-5-carboxylate and (B) a calcium channel blocker which is amlodipine. The composition is useful for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of arteriosclerosis, hypertension, heart diseases, renal diseases or cerebrovascular diseases.
