Circulatory and respiratory effects of chlormethiazole.
The circulatory and respiratory effects of chlormethiazole were studied in volunteers and patients. The only clinically significant cardiovascular change was an increase in heart rate. However, this is only important if associated with a high arterial pressure in the presence of coronary artery disease. The respiratory effects were not significant.
