چکیده
In two double-blind, randomized cross-over comparison studies undertaken in elderly subjects, a new quinazoline derivative, prazosin, has been shown to be a safe and effective antihypertensive agent to which there is a progressive response over four- to six-week periods of oral administration at fixed dose-levels.

متن کاملEffect of prazosin on diabetic nephropathy patients with positive α1-adrenergic receptor autoantibodies and refractory hypertension
To investigate the effect of prazosin on patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN), α1-adrenergic receptor (α1-R) autoantibodies and refractory hypertension, a total of 126 patients with DN and hypertension were recruited. The patients were divided into a refractory hypertension group, (n=76) and a non-refractory hypertension group (n=50). The epitope of the second extracellular loop of the α1-R ...

متن کاملPrazosin's effect in high renin hypertension complicating pheochromocytoma.
During three consecutive days of prazosin treatment in a patient with pheochromocytoma, urinary catecholamine metabolite levels were correlated with plasma renin activity. Suppression of renin plasma activity resulted in sustained hemodynamic and clinical improvement, while no remarkable changes were observed in urinary catecholamine metabolite levels. This suggests that prazosin may interrupt ...
