VA Reports
New Drug Trial
Successful

Successful results in clinical
trial of a new drug for lowering
high blood pressure were reported
by the Veterans Administration.
Doctors administering the drug,
guanethidine, to patients at two
VA hospitals said it had a potent
effect in reducing high blood pres
sure, similar to the effects of
ganglionic-blocking drugs now in
use against this disease, but did
not produce the undesirable reac-
tons that these drugs do.
DR.. Edward D. Freis of the
Washington, d. c., VA rospital and
his co-researcher, DR.. Edward D.
Frohlich of Georgetown Univer-
sity School of Medicine, said IS
patients of the Washington VA
hospital received a daily dose of
guanethidine by mouth for per-
iods varying from four to nine
weeks.
DR.. David w. Richardson and
DR.. Eugene M. Wyso of the Rich
mond, Va, VA hospital said rs
patient with high blood pressure
there received the drug daily by
mouth, in pill form, over a period
OF four and a half months.
DR.. Freis and DR.. Frohlich noted
some undesirable effects of guane-
thidine, including diarrhea. How
ever, no case was considered SER
ious and the diarrhea was readily
controlled by medication.
The Richmond VA hospital team
said the only possibly harmful
effects OF guanethidine were those
that could be expected from low
ering Of blood pressure-chiefly
dizziness while the patient is
standing.
DR.. Fries and DR.. Frohlich said
