INDICES> Circadian-Based Dosing in antihypertensive medication (2)
--------------------------------------------------

Dear Chee,

The issue of biorhytms and medication is very interesting and has a lot to
it. I worked on it some years ago when I was involved in cancer treatment.
One problem was that this is not so interesting for the pharmaceutical
industry and most cancer patients are enrolled in protocols sponsored by
drug companies! So there were many doctors interested but few patients
'available'.

I looked through my old file and found this reference:

Cooke HM, Lynch A. Biorthyms and chronotherapy in cardiovascular disease.
Am
J Hosp Pharm 1994; 51: 2569-80.

If you start by doing a Pubmed search
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi
using e.g. chronotherapy AND cardiovascular, you will get many relevant
hits
on recent literature.

Best wishes
