Xipamide: no advantage over bendrofluazide in hypertension.
In patients with uncontrolled hypertension addition of xipamide 20 mg daily to bendrofluazide 5 mg daily produced no significant additive antihypertensive effect, and the 95% confidence limits excluded a clinically important response. Xipamide treatment worsened hypokalaemia and increased the blood urea concentration significantly.
