Extra information

The efficacy of extended release felodipine 10 mg (ER) o.d., a new dihydropyridine calcium antagonist, and 25 mg hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) o.d. have been compared in a randomized, double-blind, crossover trial in 28 mildly to moderately hypertensive subjects (supine diastolic blood pressure, BP, greater than or equal to 95 mm Hg and less than or equal to 110 mm Hg on three separate occasions). Both drugs significantly reduced systolic and diastolic BP in the sitting position felodipine from 157.1/93.8 mm Hg at baseline to 133/78.9 mm Hg 2.5 h after medication and to 138/82.7 mm Hg after 2 weeks of treatment, and HCTZ from 156/95.6 mm Hg to 147/88.4 mm Hg 2.5 h after medication and to 149/89.5 mm Hg also after 2 weeks. A decrease of the same magnitude in standing systolic and diastolic BP was observed after both treatment regimens with the exception of diastolic BP 2.5 h after dosing with HCTZ, which was not significantly lower. At all times (2.5 h and 2 weeks), the reduction in systolic and diastolic BP was greater after felodipine compared to HCTZ. Heart rate was significantly increased after felodipine in both the sitting and standing positions, and both 2.5 h following medication and after 2 weeks of treatment. The difference between the regimens was significant only 2.5 h after dosing. Overall, felodipine 10 mg ER o.d. was superior to 25 mg HCTZ o.d. in lowering BP.
