A double-blind study of Phanurane and placebo was conducted on 61 patients with mild essential hypertension. Each patient received 2 gelules daily (2 X 50 mg of canrenone) during a 2 month period. Statistical analysis has shown that patients on Phanurane experienced a significant decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared with patients on placebo. Clinical tolerance of canrenone was excellent. Uric acid and triglyceride levels remained normal.
