The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the overall safety and tolerability profile of a regimen of amlodipine/valsartan 5/80 mg as compared to a regimen of amlodipine/valsartan 5/40 mg (with optional titration to amlodipine/valsartan 5/80 mg) after 8 weeks of treatment in elderly patients with essential hypertension not adequately controlled after four weeks on amlodipine 5 mg monotherapy. The intent of this study is to demonstrate that the safety profiles of the two amlodipine/valsartan regimens (5/80 mg and 5/40 mg optionally titrated to 5/80 mg) are comparable in elderly patients with essential hypertension.
