title: [Comparative estimation of efficiency and safety of racemic amlodipine and its S-enantiomer in hypertensive patients].
abstract: The authors conducted comparative estimation of efficiency and safety of racemic (R+S-) AMLODIPINE and sinistrorotatory isomer--S(-)AMLODIPINE besylate in 63 hypertensive patients from which 32 patients were administered (R+S-) amlodipine and 31--S(-)amlodipine besylate. It was established identity of antihypertensive effect according daily monitoring of blood pressure and monitoring of blood pressure in the office. However, daily dose of S(-)enantiomer was two times less than the dose of (R+S-) amlodipine. Adverse effects (headache, excessive heartbeat, peripheral edema) were less in patients who have received S(-)AMLODIPINE besylate that contributed to more expressed positive clinical dynamic of the state of patients of this group.
