Patients will be randomized to the add-on treatment with Bunazosin (Detantol-R) 3 mg once-daily after breakfast for a total of eight weeks.
Patients will be randomized to the add-on treatment with Doxazosin (Doxaben XL) 4 mg once-daily after breakfast for a total of eight weeks.
After wash-out period, the eligible subjects will be treated with Valsartin (Diovan) 80 mg as the mono therapy for 5 weeks. If the blood pressures are inadequately responded, then the patients will be randomized to either Bunazosin (Detantol-R) or Doxazosin (Doxaben XL) along with Valsartin as the add-on treatment for 8 weeks.
