title: [Role of ketanserin in the treatment of arterial hypertension].
abstract: In an open controlled clinical study, 20 adults with essential arterial hypertension (average age 51.7 years) were treated with 40-80 mg ketanserin daily or with placebo, for 4 months. A significant antihypertensive effect of ketanserin was found in 70-75% of patients treated with the drug compared to those receiving the placebo. The effect was gradual and reached its maximum on day 24. Systemic tolerance was good.
