Figure 3. Blood Pressure–Lowering Medication Classes by Randomized Group.

Subsequent to randomization, 5 patients (3 in the triple combination pill group and 2 in the usual care group) were identified as taking more than 1 blood pressure–lowering medication at baseline and these were reported as protocol violations. Patients taking less than 3 blood pressure–lowering classes during follow-up visits had stopped the triple combination pill and commenced an alternate therapy.
