Abstract
- Fifty patients with mild essential hypertension were studied to evaluate the efficacy of once-daily regimen of nitrendipine, 10~20mg daily for 12 weeks. 1) Thirty-Seven patients completed the study and showed -9% change in mean arterial headache etc. 2) Eight patients were dropped out because of side reaction, namely flushing, palpitation, headache etc. 3) Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring before and after treatment in 3 patients confirmed the drug efficacy revealing 9% decrement in mean blood pressure and 46% decrease in % elevated BP. 4) Twenty patients who were controlled with other hypotensive drugs were well controlled & maintained the blood pressure in normal range after switching to nitrendpine 10~20mg daily. In conclusion, citrendipine is a safe and good antihypertensive calcium antagonist in the treatment of mild hypertensives with 10~20mg of once-daily dosage.
