by further increasing the dose. A non-significant
tendency to more numerous and more severe side-
effects was observed at the higher doses of H.
In addition, higher H doses were associated with
significant increases in serum creatinine, uric acid
and glucose.
Little is gained by increasing the dose of enalapril
and hydrochlorothiazide above 10 mg and 12.5
mg. Higher doses are associated with elevated
cost, metabolic disturbances and probably more
numerous side-effects.
