Comparative study of antihypertensive effect of a thiazide diuretic, propranolol and prazosin in mild to moderate hypertension

ABSTRACT

A short within patient trial was carried out to compare the anti-hypertensive effects of a Thiazide diuretic, Propranolol and Prazosin in 10 female patients with uncomplicated mild to moderate hypertension. The results show that all the three anti-hypertensive agents were reasonably effective in controlling the blood pressure in this group of patients. All the three drugs were well tolerated but Thiazide diuretic has the advantage of being cheaper than the others
