Brief Summary  
This study is a prospective, Randomised controlled trial , 16-weeks Double Blind study to Compare the efficacy , safety and cost effectiveness of Amlodipine versus S-Amlodipine in patients with Grade I and grade II hypertension .Subjects will be recruited in the Medicine outpatient Department of a tertiary care teaching hospital. Although several clinical trials comparing amlodipine and (S)-amlodipine have been done, the literature lacks with properly conducted trial comparing the efficacy, safety and cost effect between the two drugs in patients in Indian scenario.Hence this clinical trial is planned in central India with aim to fill the existing knowledge gap regarding the safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness of amlodipine and S-amlodipine in Indian Scenario. The study is approved by the Institutional Ethics committee and will be done according to the ICMR guidelines for Biomedical Research on Human subjects.04:06 PM
