Study of the Acidic, Basic, and Thermal Degradation Kinetics of Three Antihypertensive Drugs-Individually and in Combination.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
objectivesThe importance of fixed-dose combinations (FDCs) for the treatment of hypertension is well established. However, from a stability perspective, FDCs present a challenge since the degradation of one active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) can be affected by the presence of another API. The aim of this study was to compare the degradation behaviors and evaluate the degradation kinetics of three antihypertensive drugs, perindopril tert-butylamine (PER), amlodipine besylate (AML), and indapamide (IND).
methodsThe degradation processes were studied using the previously developed reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method after exposing each drug individually, as well as the combinations of two/three drugs, to different stress factors, such as light, oxidation, acidic, basic, or neutral pH values at different temperatures.
resultsThe results show that PER is most unstable under basic conditions and that AML displays a negative, while IND displays a positive effect, on PER stability when combined. AML is most affected by basic conditions and oxidation, and its stability is affected by both drugs positively; IND undergoes extreme photolysis, which is positively affected by AML but negatively by PER.
conclusionsGreat care must be taken when formulating FDCs with these three drugs, as well as solutions or oral suspensions adjusted for geriatric or pediatric populations, since the stability of all three drugs is greatly affected by pH conditions, as well as light or oxidation factors and their interactions.
