Abstract
In a hypertensive crisis, an antihyprtensive agent must be able to reduce blood pressure to safe levels rapidly and predictably. Parenteral therapy is usually necessary, and in general, agents that can be infused and titrated are preferable to those that cannot. This article tells which drugs to use in specific situations and gives explicit instructions for intravenous and oral administration.Keywords
