Withdrawn
On 24 November 2011, the European Commission issued a marketing authorisation valid throughout the European Union for the medicinal product Onduarp, which combines two antihypertensive compounds with complementary mechanisms to control blood pressure in patients with essential hypertension: an angiotensin II receptor antagonist, telmisartan, and a dihydropyridinic calcium channel blocker, amlodipine.
The marketing authorisation holder (MAH) responsible for Onduarp was Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH. On 17 February 2014, the European Commission issued a decision to withdraw the marketing authorisation for Onduarp, following its receipt of a letter dated 20 December 2013 notifying the Commission of the MAH’s decision to voluntarily withdraw the marketing authorisation for this product for commercial reasons. Onduarp was not marketed in any European country.
Pursuant to this decision, the European public assessment report for Onduarp is updated to reflect that the marketing authorisation is no longer valid.
This medicine’s product information is available in all official EU languages.
