abstract：:Ketanserin, an S2 antagonist, has been shown to be an effective antihypertensive drug. Carefully controlled clinical trials have demonstrated that ketanserin is as effective as both metoprolol and thiaside diuretics in reducing blood pressure. However, unlike the beta-blocking drug metoprolol and the diuretics, the re...
