[Therapy of hypertension with timolol, hydrochlorothiazide and amiloride]. 1983

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

The effectiveness of fixed combination tablets of timolol 10 mg. hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg and amiloride 2.5 mg (Moducrin) once daily in the control of blood pressure has been assessed in fully ambulant hypertensives by the technique of continuous intra-arterial recording. Highly significant blood pressure reduction (p less than 0.001) was obtained consistently throughout the whole day, confirming the potency and usefulness of the preparation for those patients who need more than one drug to control their blood pressure. 2. Blood pressure responses to both isometric and dynamic forms of exercise were also significantly lowered by combination therapy. 3. The addition of a diuretic to a beta-adrenoceptor blocker appears to be an advantage if the aim of treatment in hypertension is 24 h 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. Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
D011412 Propanolamines AMINO ALCOHOLS containing the propanolamine (NH2CH2CHOHCH2) group and its derivatives. Aminopropanols
D011719 Pyrazines A heterocyclic aromatic organic compound with the chemical formula C4H4N2. Pyrazine
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
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.

D000584 Amiloride A pyrazine compound inhibiting SODIUM reabsorption through SODIUM CHANNELS in renal EPITHELIAL CELLS. This inhibition creates a negative potential in the luminal membranes of principal cells, located in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct. Negative potential reduces secretion of potassium and hydrogen ions. Amiloride is used in conjunction with DIURETICS to spare POTASSIUM loss.

D013999 Timolol A beta-adrenergic antagonist that is similar in action to PROPRANOLOL; the levo-isomer is more active. Timolol has been proposed as an anti-hypertensive, anti-arrhythmic, anti-angina, and anti-glaucoma agent. It is also used in the treatment of MIGRAINE DISORDERS and tremor.
