Nitrendipine 20 mg is a drug that is present in the list of discounted drugs, both in packs of 30 tablets and 60 tablets: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/53430/nitrendypina-egis-tabletki/apteki/w-warszawie The lump sum may be applied to all registered indications as of the date of the decision. In this particular case, it is the treatment of essential hypertension. Secondary hypertension (caused by another disease) will therefore not qualify the patient for reimbursement. Primary hypertension (spontaneous) is the most common type of hypertension - it affects about 95 percent of all diagnoses of hypertension. They are diagnosed when it is not possible to indicate the exact cause of too high pressure. Secondary hypertension is the result of another disease, such as hyperthyroidism, hormonal disorders syndromes, tumors, kidney and kidney blood vessel disease, side effects of drugs (e.g. glucocorticoids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), sleep apnea, neurological disorders and others. I enclose information on the availability of Nitrendypina - the preparation can be booked at GdziePoLek and collected stationary upon presentation of the prescription: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/53430/nitrendypina-egis-tabletki/apteki/w-warszawie You may also be interested in our studies: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/nadcisnienie https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/kiedy-lek-nalezy-sie-na-znizke
