Hypertension in mammalian patients, especially elderly human patients, derived from ingestion of NSAIDs or through the normal aging process is treated by administration to the patient of a vitamin B6 (or derivative) supplement. Where the patient requires the continued administration of an NSAID for pharmacological purposes, the NSAID is administered in conjunction with a vitamin B6 supplement. The invention further provides combination pharmaceutical combinations of an NSAID and a vitamin B6 supplement, e.g. orally administrable tablets or capsules, for use in treating such conditions. |
