Compelling indications
Compelling indications are coexisting diseases that influence the choice of antihypertensive drug that should be used to manage a patient. Compelling indications include consequences of hypertension (such as heart failure or chronic kidney disease) as well as diseases that occur commonly with hypertension (such as diabetes). As always, these recommendations are the result of favorable outcome data from clinical trial

Explanation:
I believe that “compelling indications” are serious conditions that must be taken into account at all times during a patient’s treatment, especially in conjunction with related conditions. I may very well be wrong, but I belive “indicaciones obligatorias” are the instructions and warnings included with medications for their safe implementation.

Example sentence(s):
  • Algunos pacientes, primordialmente aquellos con condiciones médicas agravantes, tales como insuficiencia renal, hipertensión y necesidad de diuréticos en su manejo, pacientes trasplantados, presentan al clínico dilemas en el manejo.
