Dr Namrata Mahadkar, Dr Balani N D

Abstract :

Indirect vasodilators Amlodipine, Enalapril, Telmisartan are the commonly used medicines for hypertension with diabetes mellitus type 2 wherein regular concomitant use of anti diabetic is advocated. Telmisartan in dose of 40 mg, Enalapril 5 mg, Amlodipine 5 mg doses were selected and administered in hypertensive diabetic patients where blood sugar was more than 150 mg fasting and 180 mg postprandial with Metformin therapy were selected forming three different groups. Enalapril was more effective as cotherapy with Metformin to produce reduction in blood sugar in 8 weeks duration.This concluded that all three may be continued as cotherapies along with Metformin 500 mg.
