The effect of single dose (50 mg) Captopril (C) used either alone or associated to diuretics (50 mg hydrochlorothiazide -HCTI) in the treatment of mild-moderate essential arterial hypertension was studied in a multicentric study. Eighty eight patients were chosen. After a minimum of 4 month follow-up period 53.4% responded (BDP less than 95 mm Hg) to single dose C (group 1:47 patients), 89.77% to 50 mg C in single dose together with 50 mg HTIT (group 2: 32 patients), 95.45% of two 50 mg doses of C and 50 mg HCIT (group 3: 5 patients), and 97.72% responded to 3 doses of C and 50 mg of HCTI (group 4: 2 patients). The decrease in blood pressure values was statistically significant (p, 000, Wilcoxon test) in groups 1 and 2, having a mean decrease in blood pressure (BP) of 14%. In group 1 (n = 42) the SBP which initially was 165.72 +/- 11.32, decreased to 148.28 +/- 11.5 and the DBP decreased from 101.55 +/- 5.68 to 87.28 +/- 6.59. In group 2 (n = 32) the SBP decreased from 173.50 +/- 14.08 to 152.44 +/- 20.8 and the DBP from 103.34 +/- 5.29 to 87.47 +/- 6.39. The response to monotherapy could not be statistically correlated either to early essential hypertension or to the patients age. Treatment was discontinued in three cases due to the secondary effects, cough, ageusia and nervousness, showing the remaining patients a good tolerance. No changes were observed in the analytical parameters. This study shows the usefulness and tolerance of single dose C as the initial treatment of mild to moderate essential hypertension.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D006973	Hypertension	Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.

D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D002216	Captopril	A potent and specific inhibitor of PEPTIDYL-DIPEPTIDASE A. It blocks the conversion of ANGIOTENSIN I to ANGIOTENSIN II, a vasoconstrictor and important regulator of arterial blood pressure. Captopril acts to suppress the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM and inhibits pressure responses to exogenous angiotensin.

D006852	Hydrochlorothiazide	A thiazide diuretic often considered the prototypical member of this class. It reduces the reabsorption of electrolytes from the renal tubules. This results in increased excretion of water and electrolytes, including sodium, potassium, chloride, and magnesium. It is used in the treatment of several disorders including edema, hypertension, diabetes insipidus, and hypoparathyroidism.
