Results:The first group was put on Nifedipine treatment, two (8%) of the patients given 10mg of nifedipine sublingually and only one patient (4%) required 40mg capsules to reach a safe level of blood pressure. The second group was put on Hydralazine treatment; Only 10(40%) of them required one dose (20 mg)in order to decrease their blood pressure to the safe level and 4(16%) of patients needed three doses (60 mg).
