In this pilot study, smaller doses were given for controlling the patient's haemodynamics when a brand name drug was used. Because there were no significant time-related differences in the reduction rates of the two drugs nor in any haemodynamic differences between the two groups, optimal titration of the drug used could effectively control the patient's haemodynamics. The adverse events were also similar in both groups.
