Blood pressure and pulse changes in hyperactive children treated with imipramine and methylphenidate
Abstract
The authors found significant increases in systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate in hyperactive children treated with imipramine. Methylphenidate-treated children showed significant weight loss but no significant changes in blood pressure or pulse. The authors recommend caution in the use of imipramine and suggest the need for further study to determine short- and long-term effects of imipramine on blood pressure.
