Oxdralazine, a new peripheral vasodilator, combined with propranolol and hydrochlorothiazide: a rational approach to antihypertensive treatment. 1979

E Bartoli, and R Faedda, and S Arras, and A Satta, and G Soggia

Forty-three patients suffering from hypertension of different origin (chronic renal failure, gout, or idiopathic) were treated with propranolol (121 +/- 12 mg q.d.) plus hydrochlorothiazide (50 mg q.d.) for 75 +/- 9 days. Blood pressure did not return to normal limits in 15 patients, who were continued on the same protocol plus 10 to 50 mg oxdralazine q.d. After an average of 68 +/- 35 days blood pressure fell from 180/110 mm Hg to 145/90 mm Hg without orthostatism, significant side effects, or changes in GFR. This combination seems particularly successful since propranolol will prevent the undesired rise in cardiac output due to oxdralazine as well as the activation of the renin-angiotensin axis due to diuretics. Thus, the antihypertensive properties of each agent will be enhanced by a reduction in side effects by the associated drug, resulting in optimal blood pressure control.

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.

D011433 Propranolol A widely used non-cardioselective beta-adrenergic antagonist. Propranolol has been used for MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION; ARRHYTHMIA; ANGINA PECTORIS; HYPERTENSION; HYPERTHYROIDISM; MIGRAINE; PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA; and ANXIETY but adverse effects instigate replacement by newer drugs.
