Even with the limited usage, Amosartan grew as one of the best selling drugs in Korean hypertention market. Amosartan is the combination drug of amlodipine camsylate and losartan potassium developed and launched by Hanmi. Previously in 2009, Hanmi signed on a licensing/co-promotion agreement covering several Asian countries with MSD.
