The antihypertensive and metabolic effects of lisinopril 20 mg/hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg in fixed combination were compared with those of captopril 50 mg/hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg in fixed combination in a double-blind clinical trial. After a 3-week placebo run-in period, two parallel groups of hypertensive patients (188 patients in total) each received one treatment once a day for 6 weeks. Blood pressure was measured with a mercury sphygmomanometer and on two occasions by 24 h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). Results indicate that both treatments have similar effects on casual blood pressure measurements, while ABPM recordings show that the lisinopril 20 mg/hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg combination is more effective during the last period of the dosing interval. Lisinopril 20 mg/hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg as combination antihypertensive treatment does not induce alterations in serum potassium and triglycerides.

D002216 Captopril A potent and specific inhibitor of PEPTIDYL-DIPEPTIDASE A. It blocks the conversion of ANGIOTENSIN I to ANGIOTENSIN II, a vasoconstrictor and important regulator of arterial blood pressure. Captopril acts to suppress the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM and inhibits pressure responses to exogenous angiotensin.

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.
