Different concepts in first-line treatment of essential hypertension: comparison of a low-dose reserpine-thiazide combination with nitrendipine monotherapy
Hypertens (Feb) 29:651-658 1997
Reserpine in low-dose appears to be quite safe and very effective in combination with a thiazide, something many of this generation's physicians never learned. Side effects (esp. depression) are minimal at the low dosage. See also the related ASH '96 presentation by Griebenow et al (jtd).
