Abstract

Tolerability data recorded during long-term administration of methyldopa are presented here. Since diuretics and other antihypertensive agents were frequently coadministered with methyldopa, no attempt was made to assign possible drug relationships for any particular adverse effect. The most common clinical adverse effects among the entire study population were drowsiness and dizziness. Impotence was reported by 16% of 258 men.
