title: Indoramin in the treatment of pregnancy hypertension. A placebo-controlled trial comparing the efficacy of indoramin with alpha-methyldopa.
abstract: A placebo-controlled trial was used to assess the antihypertensive efficacy of indoramin in the management of pregnancy hypertension. Sixty patients were recruited into the study and only 17 attained satisfactory blood pressure control. In the doses of drugs administered indoramin was not shown to be more effective than alpha-methyldopa.
