Vasodilator effect of indapamide in dog mesenteric vasculature.
Effects of indapamide, trichlormethiazide and hydralazine on isolated, perfused dog mesenteric vasculature and helical strips of the dog mesenteric artery were compared. It appears that indapamide-induced hypotension is associated with a direct relaxant action on arterial and arteriolar smooth muscle, whereas hydralazine acts exclusively on resistance vessels.
