Brief Summary
Levacalm Tab. was approved in Jul 2013 by MFDS in South Korea. Levacalm Tab. is combination drug of Valsartan as an angiotensin II receptor blocker and Lercanidipine as a Calcium channel blocker. It is a new drug of combination of Valsartan and Lercanidipine. Thus, there's no enough safety data and efficacy data defined from the clinical study. Also, many combination drugs of valsartaa and amlodipine are widely used in the market. LGLS will compare the safety(adverse events especially the lower leg edema) and efficacy (blood pressure and pulse) of Levacalm and Valsartan/amlodipine combination drug from this study.

Study Arms (2)
Patients treated with Levacalm
In this group, the patients will be enrolled treated with Levacalm tab. as an anti-hypertensive drug. The number of this group will be double than the control group to get more information about safety and efficacy.
Patients treated with Valsartan/amlodipine
In this group, the patients will be enrolled treated with Valsartan/amlodipine combination drug as an anti-hypertensive drug.
