Description
Summary:Effectiveness of enalapril was studied in hypertensive patients with or without diabetes-mellitus. All the patients received enalapril, 5-20 mg per day for 9 months. Enalapril effectively controlled the blood pressure and favourably altered the lipid levels and did not affect the glucose level in diabetics as well as non-diabetics. Enalapril may be considered as a better therapeutic option for the treatment of hypertension associated with diabetes mellitus.
