dc.description.abstractAcquisition cost of antihypertensive drugs may hamper blood pressure (BP) control. We evaluated prescribing pattern, acquisition cost and cost-effectiveness relationship in 225 black hypertensives attending a tertiary clinic in a developing economy. BP control was achieved in 89 (39.6%), calcium channel blockers were used most frequently (28.4%), but the most cost-effective therapy was the diuretic co-amiloride.en_US
