A within-patient comparison of bethanidine, methyldopa and propranolol in the treatment of hypertension

B N Prichard et al. Clin Sci Mol Med Suppl. 1976 Dec.

Abstract

1. A within-patient comparison showed that bethanidine, methyldopa and propranolol produced similar control of the blood pressure. 2. Unlike bethanidine, propranolol did not produce postural and exercise hypotension; methyldopa was intermediate in effect. 3. Overall side effects were of a similar incidence though there were differences in incidence of particular side effects.
