Comparison of labetalol, clonidine and diazoxide intravenously administered in severe hypertension. 1979

C K Yeung, and G W Thomas, and J A Whitworth, and P Kincaid-Smith

Diazoxide, clonidine and labetalol, administered intravenously in fixed doses, were used to treat 30 episodes of severe hypertension in 27 patients. Labetalol in a fixed dose of 100 mg proved ineffective treatment. Diazoxide 300 mg and clonidine 300 micrograms were comparable in effectiveness. Drowsiness was a common side effect with administration of clonidine (in six of 10 patients) and severe hypotension occurred in one patient who was given diazoxide.
