[Comparative efficacy of and tolerance to prestarium and lomir in long-term treatment of hypertensive subjects].

An antihypertensive action and tolerance of prestarium and lomir were studied in 31 and 33 hypertensive patients, respectively. They had hypertension stage I-II and took the drug for 12 months. Monotherapy with prestarium in a dose 8 mg/day and lomir (10 mg/day) given twice a day provides a complete hypotensive effect for a year in 56 and 62% of patients, respectively. Combinations prestarium + ariphon, lomir + anapriline or verapamil increased the above number to 100%. The occurrence of side effects of long-term lomir monotherapy was 4 times higher than due to prestarium therapy (39.4 versus 9.7%, respectively).
