The effect of once daily beta-adrenoceptor blocker-thiazide diuretic combination on the ambulatory blood pressure. 1982

B A Gould, and R S Hornung, and H Kieso, and S Mann, and E B Raftery

1 We have assessed the efficacy of Viskaldix, a combination of pindolol 10 mg and clopamide 5 mg using continuous intra-arterial ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. 2 Fourteen of the sixteen patients entered were studied on no therapy and following a minimum of 6 weeks at a constant dosage of Viskaldix. 3 Viskaldix produced a marked and consistent reduction of the blood pressure over the 24 h. The diurnal variation in the heart rate was decreased. 4 The results were compared with those of a similar study with once-daily pindolol where there was control during the day but not in the early morning when the blood pressures rose rapidly.
