  • Title: Multicentre general practitioner assessment of 'Tenormin' and methyldopa.
    Author: Tweed JA, Mason B, Sleigh R.
    Journal: J Int Med Res; 1979; 7(4):324-7. PubMed ID: 488522.
    Abstract:
    A large scale study in general practice was set up to investigate the effects of transferring hypertensive patients from treatment with usually less than 1 g daily of methyldopa to atenolol ('Tenormin') 100 mg daily. The results demonstrate an improvement in blood pressure control with atenolol treatment and a reduction in the incidence of side-effects. The simple dosage regime, combined with proven effectiveness and a relative lack of side-effects makes atenolol a useful treatment for the hypertensive patient.
