Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to provide data on the dose response of simvastatin in lowering LDL-C when it is co-administered with valsartan in patients with both essential hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. The primary objective of the study will be to show that the combination of valsartan 160mg/simvastatin 40mg has superior efficacy compared to the combination of valsartan 160mg/simvastatin 20mg in percentage change from baseline in LDL-C.
