Reserpine
Presentation
- Reserpine is a modulator of MDR in which these domains are present in a well-defined conformation.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The case is presented of a hypertensive patient on reserpine, who developed ventricular irritability after administration of alfentanil, a new ultra-short-acting narcotic used in anesthesia.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- In the present article, a revision is made of the complicated process leading to the isolation and synthesis of reserpine, by the Swiss pharmaceutical company Ciba (Schlittler and Müller) and how its pharmacological properties (Bein) were discovered and[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Parallels between the malformations present in this infant and those induced in rats through exposure to reserpine at analogous periods of gestation suggest that reserpine may pose specific risks for malformations in some pregnancies.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The present paper argues that, contrary to prevailing belief, reserpine is not depressogenic. The reason for perpetuation of this myth is reluctance to discard the monoamine hypothesis.[doi.org]
Entire Body System
Fever
- Aspirin also reduces fever. Rectal aspirin is used to reduce pain, inflammation, and fever. Aspirin is also used to treat the symptoms of arthritis and rheumatic fever. doxycycline (Vibramycin) Doxycycline is a tetracycline antibiotic.[emedicinehealth.com]
- Reserpine was isolated in 1952 from the dried root of Rauwolfia serpentina (Indian snakeroot), which had been known as Sarpagandha and had been used for centuries in India for the treatment of insanity, as well as fever and snakebites — Mahatma Gandhi[en.wikipedia.org]
- […] doctor or get medical help right away if you have any of the following signs or symptoms that may be related to a very bad side effect: Signs of an allergic reaction, like rash; hives ; itching; red, swollen, blistered, or peeling skin with or without fever[drugs.com]
- Known in India as Sarpaganda, it was used for centuries to treat insanity as well as physical illnesses such as fevers and snakebites.[encyclopedia.com]
Cardiovascular
Hypotension
- Side effects were mild to moderate in severity, and there were no cases of profound hypotension.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Surprisingly no or mild postural hypotension is seen. This is because centrally acting drugs do not produce postural hypotension. Baroreceptor sensitivity is increased even further (some spare baroreceptors).[howmed.net]
- Gastrointestinal disturbances were reported in six patients, and hypotension in six. Toxicity occurred more frequently in those who received IM, and therefore high-dose, reserpine.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Dose dependent hypotension was observed with reserpine as well as with RMN. However, the vehicle (DMSO) also produced hypotension which was approximately 15 mm Hg from basal level.[biomedcentral.com]
- Drug: Diuretics, other hypotensive agents compound hypotensive effects; cardiac glycosides (digoxin) may increase risk of arrhythmias; mao inhibitors may cause excitation and hypertension; cns depressants compound depression; may decrease response to[robholland.com]
Orthostatic Hypotension
- Hypertension 0.02 mg/kg/day PO qDay or divided q12hr, not to exceed 0.25 mg/day Adverse CNS effects; may cause bradycardia and orthostatic hypotension; not recommended as routine treatment for hypertension (Beers criteria) 0.05 mg PO qDay; may increase[reference.medscape.com]
- CV: Bradycardia, edema , orthostatic hypotension, increased AV conduction time (prolonged therapy); angina-like symptoms, arrhythmias, CHF (rare).[robholland.com]

Psychiatrical
Suicidal Ideation
- Suicidal ideation has been reported. Reserpine-induced depression is quickly reversible if therapy is withdrawn as soon as the syndrome is recognized, but can persist for several months after drug discontinuation if the syndrome fully develops.[drugs.com]
Psychiatric Symptoms
- Conceivably, a parallel supersensitivity in the mesolimbic area could have occurred in this patient and accounted for the psychiatric symptoms.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
Hemichorea
- A 74-year-old woman developed a slowly progressive hemichorea starting 3 weeks after discontinuation of low-dose amitriptyline and perphenazine. The duration of neuroleptic exposure was 3 months.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Abstract Overexpression of efflux pump genes conferring multidrug resistance (MDR) in Staphylococcus aureus results in reduced susceptibility to select biocides, dyes and fluoroquinolones.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
- These findings suggest that treatment with a combination of different antihypertensives with different modes of action in low doses is a rational alternative to conventional monotherapy in the first-line treatment of hypertension.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
