Pressor responses to antihypertensive drugs are not addressed in treatment guidelines although they have been described in various clinical situations. We now report the incidence of pressor responses to initiation of monotherapy using four antihypertensive drug types, and the influence of plasma renin activity (PRA) status, among participants in a worksite-based antihypertensive treatment program.
