Abstract:
Objective\ To compare the safety, tolerability and antihypertensive effects of HYZAAR and COZAAR(Lorsartan) in clinic patients with mild-to-moderate hypertension. Design and Method\ 179 patients with diastolic blood pressure(DBP 95 mmHg~110 mmHg) were randomized into double blind study. Following a 2 week placebo washing out period,patients were randomized into HYZAAR(COZAAR complex) or COZAAR group for 8 weeks.Efficacy was evaluated by determine the change from baseline DBP,SBP, and the percentage of patients with normalized DBP(<90mmHg). Results\ Both HYZAAR and COZAAR produced a significant reduction in blood pressure( P <0 01).The efficacy of HYZAAR was 81.9%(4 weeks), 88.0%(8 weeks better than 41.2% and 50.6% in COZAAR. Overall,19.1% of patients experienced drug related adverse events with HYZAAR,compared with 15.6% for COZAAR. Conclusion\ HYZAAR and COZAAR are effective and well tolerated in the treatment of patients with mild to moderate hypertension. HYZAAR produces more effect than COZAAR.
