 - SBP>/=160mmHg or DBP>/=100mmHg for untreated patients (SBP Systolic blood pressure, DBP Diastolic blood pressure)
 - SBP>/=150mmHg or DBP>/=95mmHg for patients with previous treatment by antihypertensive agents
Exclusion Criteria
- Patients whose blood pressure on either day of Visit 1 or 2 is: SBP > 200mmHg or DBP > 120mmHg.
 - Patients with secondary hypertension or hypertensive emergency such as malignant hypertension.
