The practicing physician is confronted daily with hypertension as a common disease and important cardiovascular risk factor. Many different antihypertensive agents are now available, but when and how should they be prescribed? The drugs which were available in Switzerland at the end of 1977 have already been reviewed in detail in this Journal (see Schweiz. med. Wschr. 108, 1 [1978]), but since then several new agents have been introduced. The author discusses the newer blood pressure-lowering drugs and their place in practical antihypertensive pharmacotherapy.
