Abstract: OBJECTIVE To investigate the economic effects produced by ACEI and calcium blocker treating the primary hypertension. METHODS The paper carries on a retrospective analytic valuation to the drugs-benezepril,perindopril,amlodipine and nit rendipine used by 232 cases of patients with primary hypertension and hold a comparison using the method of cost-effectiveness analysis.RESULTS Perindopril is the best drug low-ering blood pressures(regardless of systolic or diastolic blood pressure).CONCLUSION Through analysis we can come to the conclusion that pharmacoeconomics plays an important part in instructing reasonable utilization of drugs,controlling the rise of drug costs,lightening the economic burden of patients and raising the social eco-nomic results.Meanwhile,the studies of pharmacoeconomics is one of essential conditions and key measures to realize the reasonable distribution of health sources,and to safeguard the healthy movement of basic medical in-surance system and the instant perfection.It also has an important instructive function to develop the new drugs with high effect,few side effects and reasonable price.
