6 , 17 In a study by Maleki et al
Various terminologies have been applied to describe severe elevation in BP, including acute severe hypertension, hypertensive urgency, hypertensive emergency, malignant hypertension (MHT Nifedipine, a calcium-channel-blocking agent, was administered orally to 44 untreated patients (Group A) and sublingually to 51 untreated patients (Group B) who had a diastolic blood pressure more than 90 mm Hg and systolic blood pressure more than 140 mm Hg
Sublingual administration is the easiest way for a therapeutical intervention in an urgency
Sublingual captopril (25 mg) was compared with sublingual nifedipine (10 mg) to determine their effectiveness and safety in the treatment of hypertensive emergencies
Sublingual losartan is an effective drug in patients with hypertensive urgency and a significant hypotensive effect of sublingual captopril, nifedipine andLosartan therapy occurred at 90 minutes
This study aimed to evaluate the response rate, clinical efficacy and onset of action of sublingual captopril in patients diagnosed with hypertensive urgency
Arapid fall in blood pressure in patients with severe In this study, the systolic and mean blood pressure decreased more rapidly in the sublingual captopril group than in the oral captoprill group in the first 30 minutes after administration
