In pharmacology, reserpine is "an alkaloid found in the roots of Rauwolfia serpentina and R. vomitoria. Reserpine inhibits the uptake of norepinephrine into storage vesicles resulting in depletion of catecholamines and serotonin from central and peripheral axon terminals. It has been used as an antihypertensive and an antipsychotic as well as a research tool..."[1]

Efficacy

Hypertension

Reserpine may be an excellent choice for second line therapy for patients who fail diuretics.[2]

Reserpine was a component of combination therapy in several major trials of treating hypertension: the Hypertension Detection and Follow-Up Program (HDFP)[3][4], Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial (MRFIT)[5][6], Veterans Administrative Cooperative Study Group in Anti-hypertensive Agents[7], and the Systolic Hypertension in the Elderly Program (SHEP)[8][9].

In a review of reserpine as monotherapy, the Cochrane Collaboration concluded that reserpine can lower the systolic blood pressure by about 8 mm Hg in patients with hypertension.[10]

Adverse effects

In a review of 691 patients in seven studies, McMahon found that 5% of patients discontinued reserpine because of adverse effects. [11]

Case control studies[12] that reported an association between reserpine and breast cancer have been contradicted by cohort studies[13].
