Treatment of iatrogenic and age-related hypertension with vitamin B6 or derivatives thereof

摘要

Hypertension in mammalian patients, especially elderly human patients, derived from ingestion of NSAIDs or through the normal aging process is treated by administration to the patient of a vitamin B6 (or derivative) supplement. Where the patient requires the continued administration of an NSAID for pharmacological purposes, the NSAID is administered in conjunction with a vitamin B6 supplement. Also disclosed are combination pharmaceutical combinations of an NSAID and a vitamin B6 supplement, e.g. orally administrable tablets or capsules, for use in treating such conditions.
