title: Doxazosin in 'resistant' hypertension.
abstract: A study of doxazosin added to baseline therapy with a beta-adrenoceptor blocker plus a diuretic in the treatment of patients 'resistant' to the baseline therapy, showed that it was effective and generally well tolerated. The study was, however, open-label and lacked comparison with other third-line drugs.
