Abstract
The effects of intraven. admn. of V. viride and tetraethylammonium chloride were compared in 15 patients with hypertension. In contrast to toxemia of pregnancy, where the results of the 2 drugs are diametrically opposed (tetraethylammonium chloride having little or no effect and V. viride producing a marked fall in blood pressure), these 15 patients showed a similar blood pressure fall to each drug when they were given on the same day.Keywords
