Methyldopa in the Treatment of Hypertension

Creator:

Gilmore, Bruce L.
Freis, Edward D.

Date:

January 1965

Description:

In this paper, Freis evaluated the newly developed ganglion-blocking agent, methyldopa. He reported that it exhibited fewer side effects than a similar drug, guanethidine, yet it was not favored by patients since it required them to take a larger number of tablets at a greater frequency.
