A preliminary controlled evaluation of the antihypertensive effect of indapamide. 1977

P Turner, and G N Volans, and H J Rogers

A controlled, single-blind trial was carried out in 10 hypertensive patients to compare the effectiveness of a single daily dose (2.5 mg to 5 mg) of indapamide with that of placebo. Blood pressure was measured with a bias-free sphygmomanometer. Indapamide produced a significant reduction in mean systolic and diastolic pressures in both supine and erect positions. It was generally well tolerated: few side-effects were reported and no significant changes were noted in laboratory tests. It is concluded that further long-term studies of indapamide are indicated in larger numbers of patients.
