Since previous studies in this laboratory have indicated that the antihypertensive effect of chlorothiazide is not due exclusively to its diuretic effect, diazoxide, a non-diuretic thiazide, was tested in 28 hypertensive subjects over the past six months. In a daily oral dose of 200 mg, diazoxide produced significant lowerings of blood pressure which ranged from 15/10 to 45/24 mm Hg. The reductions of blood pressure were not orthostatic, but occurred similarly in both the supine and upright positions. They appeared to result from a decrease in peripheral resistance, since cardiac output did not change. Diazoxide given intravenously in a dose
