Pancreatitis and asymptomatic elevations of serum amylase have been reported after therapy with thiazide diuretics. In the current study, the effects of hydrochlorothiazide and tripamide treatment on serum and urinary amylase excretion were investigated in 12 hypertensive volunteers. Two patients developed modest elevations of the serum amylase above the normal range after 12 weeks of treatment with hydrochlorothiazide 50 mg daily, but the mean serum amylase did not change. Hydrochlorothiazide did not produce a statistically significant increase in urinary amylase excretion but did reduce the ratio of salivary amylase/creatinine clearance in a two-hour urine collection. Tripamide 10 mg daily had no effect on serum or urinary amylase.

The effects of tripamide and hydrochlorothiazide on blood pressure and glucose tolerance were studied in 20 hypertensive patients, half of whom had type II diabetes mellitus. Each patient underwent intravenous glucose tolerance testing before and after 4 weeks of treatment with tripamide, 10 mg, and, at a separate time, hydrochlorothiazide, 50 mg. Both tripamide and hydrochlorothiazide lowered blood pressure; for both drugs, the magnitude of the reduction in mean arterial pressure was positively correlated with the pretreatment mean arterial pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide produced a greater fall in serum potassium than did tripamide. In the nondiabetics, neither drug produced a significant change in the glucose disappearance curve or the plasma insulin response. In the diabetics, hydrochlorothiazide produced an increase in serum glucose levels, but the plasma insulin response, which was blunted in comparison to the nondiabetics, did not change. Tripamide did not affect serum glucose or plasma insulin levels in either group of patients. Tripamide at a dose of 10 mg daily does not affect glucose tolerance in either nondiabetic hypertensive patients or patients with type II diabetes mellitus.
