title: [Antihypertensive therapy with co-dergocrine mesilate/nifedipine in comparison with nifedipine in type II diabetes].
abstract: In a randomized cross-over study the antihypertensive effects of nifedipine and the combination of co-dergocrine and nifedipine (Pontuc) respectively as well as the influence of both preparations on the glucose metabolism was tested in 22 hypertensive patients with diabetes type II over a period of 4 weeks. During treatment with the combination a significantly more pronounced blood pressure reduction was achieved compared to monotherapy with nifedipine, whereas the heart rate was significantly increased only by nifedipine. Both drugs--nifedipine and co-dergocrine/nifedipine--did not change the concentrations of glucose in the blood or urine or of HbA1.
