title: Evaluation of indoramin added to oxprenolol and bendrofluazide as a third agent in severe hypertension.
abstract: 1 Indoramin, an alpha-adrenoreceptor blocking agent has been given as a third agent to patients with severe hypertension treated with adequate doses of a beta-adrenoceptor blocking drug and a thiazide diuretic. 2 A further fall in blood pressure followed the addition of indoramin. With 75 mg twice daily this was on average a fall of 12% of mean arterial pressure in the supine position, 16% standing an 17% after exercise. 3 The rise in blood pressure caused by isometric exercise was not altered by indoramin. 4 Indoramin slowed the heart rate. On 75 mg twice daily the reduction was 14% at rest and 19% after exercise. 5 Side effects of indoramin were sedation, sleep disturbance and vivid dreams.
