Abstract
Minoxidil, a new peripheral vasodilator, was used in the therapy of 26 hypertensives who were previously uncontrolled on conventional medications or who had dose-limiting side effects. Minoxidil provided (1) therapeutic advantages in all patients, regardless of the etiology of their hypertension, (2) no symptoms of orthostatic hypotension or sympathetic nervous system depression, (3) a simplification of medical regimens and perhaps costs, and (4) regression of impotence in four out of seven patients. The major limiting factors encountered were (1) fluid retention with the development of congestive heart failure in three patients, (2) pericardial effusion in three patients, and (3) hypertrichosis, which reduced its acceptability in female patients.
