title: [Premedication with doxepin (author's transl)].
abstract: The effects of doxepin on the circulation and its anxiety relieving properties were studied in 67 patients who were premedicated with this drug before surgical operations. The findings showed that doxepin is very suitable for premedication on account of its sedative, tranquilizing and analgesic properties. It also reduced secretion of mucus and saliva. In a few cases it caused mild orthostatic circulatory dysregulation. The drug was well tolerated and has proved its value for routine administration.
