Verapamil SR and propranolol LA: a comparison of efficacy and side effects in the treatment of mild to moderate hypertension
Abstract
The efficacy, safety and toleration of sustained release verapamil (Securon SR, Knoll) and long acting propranolol (Inderal LA, ICI) in the treatment of mild to moderate hypertension were compared in a randomized, double-blind, parallel group study. Both drugs were of similar efficacy and were well tolerated in the majority of patients. However, in the verapamil SR treated group side-effects resulted in significantly fewer drug-related withdrawals.
