The effect of high-dose short-term ibuprofen on antihypertensive control with hydrochlorothiazide.

The effect of high-dose ibuprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), on the blood pressure of treated hypertensive patients was evaluated in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, crossover trial with 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Twelve middle-aged black women with essential hypertension, controlled with 50 mg hydrochlorothiazide per day, randomly received 3200 mg ibuprofen and a placebo for 8 days. Each treatment phase was separated by a 1-week washout period. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), body weight, and 24-hour urinary excretion of sodium, creatinine, and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) were determined at the end of each treatment phase. Mean (+/- SEM) 24-hour systolic and diastolic blood pressures were 122/85 (+/- 2.9/1.7) and 125/85 (+/- 3.0/1.1) during the placebo and ibuprofen phases, respectively. Mean ABPM during six consecutive 4-hour periods also revealed no significant differences between placebo and ibuprofen. We conclude that 3200 mg ibuprofen per day for up to 1 week induced little change in blood pressure in hypertensive who are receiving hydrochlorothiazide.[1]
