Side effects of sympatholytic antihypertensive drugs.

Effects of nighttime single-dose administration of vasodilating vs sympatholytic antihypertensive agents on sleep blood pressure in hypertensive patients with sleep apnea syndrome.

Obstructive sleep apneas syndrome (OSAS) is associated with nocturnal hypertension with higher sleep blood pressure (BP) and its variability, both of which increase cardiovascular risk. In this crossover design study, the effect of nighttime single-dose administration of vasodilating (nifedipine 40 mg) vs sympatholytic (carvedilol 20 mg) antihypertensive agents on sleep BP in 11 hypertensive OS...

Double-blind trial of four hypotensive drugs (methyldopa and three sympatholytic agents).

Alternatives to traditional first-line antihypertensive treatment: unresolved questions and therapeutic dilemmas. A personal approach.

The best antihypertensive regimen for use in patients with mild-to-moderate hypertension has not been determined. When nonpharmacological treatment of hypertension fails, initial drug treatment with diuretic drugs, sympatholytic agents (including beta-adrenergic receptor blockers), or vasodilators will result in satisfactory blood pressure control. However, each of these therapies has effects t...

Pharmacist blood pressure management programs using telemonitoring systems are useful for monitoring side effects of antihypertensive drugs in a community pharmacy

We previously started pharmacist blood pressure (BP) management programs using telemonitoring systems for monitoring side effects of antihypertensive drugs in a community pharmacy. The present case demonstrates that pharmacist BP management programs using telemonitoring systems are useful for monitoring side effects of antihypertensive drugs in a community pharmacy.

The Effect of " Sympatholytic Drugs on the Cardiovascular Responses to Epinephrine and Norepinephrine in Man By EDWARD

Under controlled conditions the effects of various "sympatholytic" agents on the cardiovascular responses to epinephrine and norepinephrine were compared in man. The dosages of the sympatholytic drugs administered approximated those usually employed clinically. Such basic data are given for the following agents: Dibenamine, the imidazoline derivatives [Priscoline and Regitine (C-7337)], the dih...
