WHO recommends a sample size of at least 600 encounters for drug utilization studies (WHO how to investigate drug use in health facilities, 1993). Based on above recommendation, we used sample size of 600 patients. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that dilates (widens) blood vessels and improves blood flow. Losartan was first angiotensin II blocker. A Total of 600 patients taken in this study out of which 205 were diagnosed by hypertension.
