The effectiveness of alternate 6-month courses of chlorothiazide alone with standard antihypertensive therapy is compared in 11 patients with severe hypertension and 30 patients with moderately severe hypertension. These results are then compared with those of a 6-month combined treatment period when the patients received both chlorothiazide and standard antihypertensive therapy.
