Summary
The majority of hypertensive patients require antihypertensive associations to control their
blood pressure. Most of clinical trials don’t compare different associations using
Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg as the standard initial therapy and compare the associations using
doses that are not equivalent.
This randomized trial where patients and investigators are blinded and compares the
effectiveness two associations: Hydrochlorothiazide and Amiloride and Hydrochlorothiazide and
Enalapril.
