Abstract

Trimazosin Hydrochloride is a new orally active antihypertensive agent derived from the Quinazoline family, related chemically and pharamacologically to parazosin, but unlike its precedecessor, no first-dose syncope has been note, and no tolerance in the management of long term hypertensive patients. The antihypertensive effect of Trimazosin was observed from Oct. 1984 to Mar, 1985 at hospital of Chung-Ang Univesity as outpatient base involving a total 25 patients(Male;16, Female;9)with mild to moderate Hypertension(Diastolic B, P> or =90mmHG but< or =110mmHg). And the average age was 51.5 year(39-66yrs.) Our data demonstrate that 1) Trimazosin is an effective antihypertensive agent for controlling both systolic(166mmHg to 135.7mmHg)and diastolic(102.8mmHg to 85.3mmHg)pressure, and the mean arterial pressure was decreased from 123.8mmHg to 102.1mmHg(P%0.001). 2) We achieved significant sustained reduction in blood pressure with Trimazosin alone in 10 patients, Trimazosin plus Thoazide diuretics in 4 patients, Trimazosin plus-Beta-blocker in 5 patients, and with above triple regimensin 5 patients. 3) Side effects observed during Trimazosin theraphy(mean 3.8 months)appear to be minor and are reflection of its hemodynamic effects, (fatigability 2, dizziness 3, nausea 3 and headache 3) except one had to stop due to severe pounding headache.
