Abstract

Study Objective: To assess the effects of Ibuprofen on blood pressure control in patients being treated with antihypertensive drugs. Design: Randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel trial of Ibuprofen compared with acetaminophen and with placebo in 3-week treatment periods. Setting: A general internal medicine clinic at a university hospital. Patients: Forty-five patients with essential hypertension controlled by treatment with at least two antihypertensive drugs were enrolled. Of these, 41 completed the study; treatment was discontinued in 3 of the 15 patients in the Ibuprofen group due to breakage of the drug capsules, and after randomization in 1 of the 14 patients in the placebo group due to unstable angina. All 15 patients in the acetaminophen group completed the study. Interventions: All previous antihypertensive regimens were continued. During the 3-week treatment, Ibuprofen, 400 mg, was administered orally every 8 hours; acetaminophen, 1 g, orally every 8 hours; or placebo, 2 capsules, orally every 8 hours. Measurements and Main Results: In the Ibuprofen group, the mean increase from baseline after 3 weeks of treatment was significant in the average supine diastolic blood pressure (6.4 mm Hg; 95% confidence interval [Cl], 1.05 to 11.75; p = 0.0239); supine mean arterial pressure (6.6 mm Hg; 95% Cl, 1.25 to 11.95; & p = 0.0205); and sitting mean arterial pressure (5.8 mm Hg; 95% Cl, 1.57 to 10.04; p = 0.0123). The mean increase in blood pressure variables in the Ibuprofen group was significantly different compared with the mean increase in the variables in the placebo group after 3 weeks of treatment: supine systolic blood pressure (7.1 mm Hg compared with -4.5 mm Hg; 95% Cl for the difference in means, 2.5 to 20.6; p = 0.0133); supine diastolic pressure (6.4 mm Hg compared with 0.0; 95% Cl for difference in means, 0.87 to 12.4; p = 0.0250); supine mean arterial pressure (6.6 mm Hg compared with -1.5; 95% Cl for difference in means, 2.0 to 14.2; p= 0.0110); sitting systolic pressure (6.8 mm Hg compared with -3.7; 95% Cl for difference in means, 2.0 to 19.0; p = 0.0169); sitting diastolic pressure (5.3 mm Hg compared with -1.1; 95% Cl for difference in means, 0.76 to 12.1; p = 0.0273); and sitting mean arterial pressure (5.8 mm Hg compared with -2.0; 95% Cl for difference in means, 1.5 to 14.1; p = 0.0169). When compared with the acetaminophen group after 3 weeks of treatment, the Ibuprofen group also showed statistically significant changes in supine diastolic and mean arterial pressures, and sitting diastolic and mean arterial pressures. Conclusions: Ibuprofen can interfere with blood pressure control in certain patients with treated mild-to-moderate hypertension. Further clinical studies are needed to document these findings and determine which patients are most likely to have an ibuprofen-related impairment in blood pressure control.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
