The possibility of using pindolol on a once‐a‐day schedule was investigated in the treatment of mild to moderate hypertension. Eighteen patients whose blood pressure responded satisfactorily to thrice‐daily administration had a similar response to the single daily dose (p > 0.05). The advantages of once‐daily pindolol therapy as well as some of the biochemical changes produced by the drug are commented upon.
