[Treatment with Pharmachim's Chlophazolin of hypertension and symptomatic hypertonia].

A total of 127 patients with arterial hypertension--64 with symptomatic and 63 with essential, were treated with chlophazolin "Pharmachim" at the Clinic of Therapy of Internal Diseases and Clinical Pharmacology for a period of one year. The drug was used alone in part of the patients and in the rest--in combination with other drugs. Satisfactory effect on the clinical symptoms and the level of blood pressure was attained in all patients treated and in only a small part of them diuretics and beta-blockers were necessary so as to attain better effect in coping with the arterial hypertension. In all patients the drug gave no toxic and allergic reactions, the most frequent adverse affects being the dryness of the mouth and sleepiness.
