Abstract:
PURPOSE:In order to assess the short-term safety and tolerability of newly prescribed antihypertensive monotherapies in Korean patients, a prospective study was carried out. METHODS:A total of 1181 patients were observed from July 1997 to August 1999. At 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks after initiation of antihypertensive monotherapy, the patients were evaluated for whether treatment was to be continued and the development of any adverse reactions. RESULTS:During the first 12 weeks, the percentage of subjects continuing with their initial angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) (40.7%) was substantially lower than that of subjects continuing with angiotensin II receptor antagonists (ARA) (66.2%), alpha-blockers (63.0%), calcium channel blockers (CCB) (61.3%), beta-blockers (55.8%), and diuretics (53.5%), respectively (P < 0.01). The following adverse reactions were detected: cough (7.5%), headache (6.1%), dizziness (3.9%), flushing (3.7%) and impotence (2.4%). Cough, headache, and flushing were more frequent in women, and impotence and loss of libido were more frequent in men (P < 0.05). The incidence of cough associated with ACEI (27.9%) was higher than that associated with the other classes of drugs (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS:The tolerability of antihypertensive medication was highest in Korean patients treated with ARAs, followed by CCBs, beta-blockers, diuretics, alpha-blockers, and ACEIs. The incidences of adverse reactions were different by sex, age and drug class.
