Short report: Ramipril and hydrochlorothiazide combination therapy in hypertension: a clinical trial of factorial design

Abstract

Several dosage combinations of ramipril plus HCT produced significantly greater blood pressure reductions than the monotherapies at the same dosages. Overall, the combination of 5 mg ramipril and 25 mg HCT gave the best mean reduction. Combination therapy with ramipril plus HCT was safe and effective for patients with mild-to-moderate essential hypertension.
