Normalisation in the remaining patients may require a combination of two or more drugs. This review considers the clinical efficacy and tolerability of combinations involving angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. The efficacy of combinations with diuretics or calcium antagonists, as initial therapy or in patients with inadequate responses to monotherapy, has been demonstrated in many trials. With combination therapy, normalisation rates approaching 80% can be achieved using submaximal doses of both components. Therapy with both combinations is well tolerated; with ACE inhibitors reducing the diuretic metabolic effects or counteracting some calcium antagonist-associated vasodilatory effects. Data on ACE inhibitors with beta-blockers are limited. When patients respond inadequately to first-line monotherapy, the increasing availability of drug combinations will allow individual selection of the most appropriate combination, taking account of additional risk factors and concomitant disease.</p>","PeriodicalId":22312,"journal":{"name":"The British journal of clinical practice","volume":"50 8","pages":"454-65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19998534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Is hormone replacement therapy prescribed for postmenopausal diabetic women? 激素替代疗法是否适用于绝经后糖尿病妇女?

This single-centre, double-blind, cross-over study recruited 23 outpatients with clinically stable asthma. These patients were treated with 12 micrograms formoterol, 400 micrograms salbutamol or placebo in a randomly allocated sequence, with at least 2 days between treatments. Forced expiratory volume in 1s of expiration (FEV1) was measured at specified time points from 15 min to 15 hours post-treatment. Formoterol produced significantly higher values of FEV1 at the primary endpoint of 12 hours compared with placebo and salbutamol. No differences between FEV1 values were seen for the active treatments of formoterol and salbutamol for the first 5 hours post-inhalation. Formoterol was significantly superior to placebo at all time points, whereas salbutamol was significantly superior to placebo for the first 5 hours.
