          Abstract

          Se comparó la utilidad de prazosin y metildopa en 16 pacientes con hipertensión esen-cial durante un ensayo randomizado doble ciego y paralelo, que duró seis meses. Ambos fármacos se administraron en combinacion con hidroclorotiazida en dosis de 50 mg, 2 veces al día, hasta que la presión arterial diastólica en decúbito disminuyó a menos de 90 mmHg, o hasta que el paciente recibió prazosin en dosis de 5 mg, 4 veces al día, o metildopa en dosis de 500 mg,4 veces al dia. Al añadir prazosin o metildopa a la hidroclorotiazida, disminuyó la presión arterial significativamente y en grado semejan-te, sin modificar la actividad de renina plasmática. La frecuencia cardiaca y el peso aumentaron de manera significativa durante la administracion de prazosin, pero no con la de metildopa. Los efectos secundarios sintomáticos ocurrieroh con frecuencia igual en el tratamiento con los dos agentes, y no obligaron a modificar ni suspender la terapéutica en algún paciente. La disminución en la frecuencia de administracion de 4 a 2 veces al día o de 3 a 2 veces al dia, hasta 1 vez al día, no tuvo efecto adverse sobre la regulacion de la presión arterial. Al substituir prazosin o metildopa por propranolol se logró eficacia antihipertensiva semejante, con disminución importante de la frecuencia cardiaca.
