Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients will be eligible for enrolment into the study (Visit 1) if they fulfil all of the following criteria:
Provision of signed Informed Consent
Primary hypertension, untreated or treated with a maximum of 2 antihypertensive drugs (substances), which the patient and the physician are willing to withdraw at enrolment and replace with placebo.
Mean sitting DBP 90-114 mmHg (value calculated in the eCRF) at Visits 1 and 2
Patients will be eligible for randomisation (Visit 4) if they fulfil the following criterion:
Mean sitting DBP of 90-114 mmHg (value calculated in the eCRF) at the end of the 4-week single-blind placebo run-in period. The run-in period should not be shorter than 4 weeks.

Intravascular volume depletion
Hypersensitivity to any component of the investigational products or to any sulphonamide derived drugs
