title: [Metabolic consequences of long-term antihypertensive treatment with co-dergocrine mesylate/nifedipine in high age groups].
abstract: Possible metabolic changes during chronic treatment is of specific importance for the development of antihypertensive drugs. The impact of a combination treatment with co-dergocrine mesilate/nifedipine (Pontuc; CAS 8067-24-1 resp. CAS 21829-25-4) on the lipid metabolism as well as hematological and biochemical values was evaluated in a group of hypertensive patients. HDL-cholesterol remained unchanged, whereas total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol slightly decreased, apoprotein AI increased and apoprotein B decreased. In conclusion the results of this study indicate that co-dergocrine mesilate/nifedipine has no negative impact on the lipid metabolism in patients with essential hypertension.
