Chronopharmacology of antihypertensive agents.
Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics, 1988 There is increasing evidence demonstrating time-dependent changes in effectiveness and toxicity of several agents. Recently we investigated some chronopharmacological aspects of antihypertensive agents such as diuretic, adrenoceptor blocking and calcium channel blocking. We observed that the effects of diuretic agent are greater when it is administered

Three recent additions to the list of antihypertensive agents have been approved for use as monotherapy or in combination with other drugs. Betaxolol hydrochloride (Kerlone) maintains its effect for 24 hours, making it a true once-a-day beta blocker. Penbutolol sulfate (Levatol) is as effective as other beta blockers and diuretics.

Nephroprotection by Antihypertensive Agents
Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1994Arterial hypertension is one of the few factors confirmed to accelerate the development of renal failure. Conversely, several studies have documented that systematic reduction of the blood pressure slows the progression of renal failure. It is postulated that 24-h reduction of the blood pressure should be achieved, best controlled by ambulatory blood ...

Nitrendipine as an antihypertensive agent
European Heart Journal, 1987A double-blind, stratified and randomized multicentre trial was carried out to compare the antihypertensive efficacy of nitrendipine with that of propranolol. The dose of nitrendipine was 5-20 mg b.d., and of propranolol, 40-120 mg b.d. With nitrendipine (N = 137), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) fell from 156 +/- 1 to ...
