Presentation
Reserpine is a modulator of MDR in which these domains are present in a well-defined conformation. [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]

- 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]
Reading from indian biomedical literature it was used for the treatment of mental disorders, fever and the bites of snakes and by Mahatma Gandhi as a tranquilizer. The first synthesis of the drug was accomplished in 1958. [flipper.diff.org]

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
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]
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]
Side effects were mild to moderate in severity, and there were no cases of profound hypotension. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

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 Reserpine-induced depression is quickly reversible if therapy is withdrawn as soon as the syndrome is recognized, but can persist for several months after drug discontinuation if the syndrome fully develops.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]

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]
Active treatment included hydrochlorothiazide, reserpine, and hydralazine hydrochloride. [web.archive.org]

Etiology
This bias can arise in case-control studies if patients with a particularly high (or low) rate of prior exposure to the alleged etiologic agent are excluded from the selection of either cases or controls, but not from both. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
