However, there is still uncertainty as to which antihypertensive agents are most suitable for resolution of PRES (1).

Assessment and investigation A detailed history and physical examination, including current antihypertensive agents, previous surgery and previous pregnancy outcomes A screening glucose tolerance test and/or haemoglobin A1c to exclude pregestational diabetes An echocardiograph to exclude cardiac structural defects, such as left ventricular hypertrophy An electrocardiogram (ECG), particularly in those who have had chronic hypertension for >5 years, who previously had superimposed pre-eclampsia, and/or who were readmitted for severe hypertension and pulmonary oedema during a previous pregnancy Proteinuria, either by a spot urine protein:creatinine ratio or a 24-hour urine proteinuria quantitative test.

Longer acting antihypertensive agents like telmisartan may provide additional benefits by effectively controlling BP at all times.

Further studies are still required to confirm the association between calcium channel blockers and silent GERD, since calcium channel blockers are the most commonly prescribed antihypertensive agents in patients with hypertension.

No negative impact on blood pressure levels nor interactions with antihypertensive agents were observed.

3-Carbamoyl-4-aryl-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydro-6-methyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic Acid Esters as Orally Effective Antihypertensive Agents, J.

Duley et al8 conducted a meta-analysis that included 24 randomized trials and found that the data was insufficient for final conclusions of comparative effect of antihypertensive agent and that the choice of antihypertensive agents should depend on the familiarity of the adverse effects of the drug, and this conclusion was also reached by Noronha-Neto et al9 in their study.

[4] Briefly, this involves immediate resuscitative measures, administration of magnesium sulphate parenterally to prevent further seizures and the use of rapid-acting antihypertensive agents (labetalol and oral nifedipine) to reduce sustained high blood pressure levels of [greater than or equal to]160 mmHg systolic and/or [greater than or equal to]110 mmHg diastolic.

rapid-acting antihypertensive agents, must be used to stabilise systolic and/or diastolic hypertension.

It may be used alone or used in combination with other antihypertensive agents, particularly a thiazide diuretic.

Conversely, lowering the blood pressure with antihypertensive agents may also worsen neurological function by reducing cerebral perfusion.

The most important factors are the age at the time of operation, preoperative use of ≤2 antihypertensive agents, and the duration of the hypertension.

When the doctors (N=100) were asked about their choice of first line (Step I) antihypertensive agents in patients with no compelling indications, they preferred Beta Blockers (34%) and ACEIs (34%) over other antihypertensive agents e.g.

Some of the drugs that are commonly administered by injectable drug delivery include analgesics, antibiotics, immunosuppressive agents, antihypertensive agents, vasodilators, chemotherapeutic agents and antiarrhythmic drugs.
