Compound Reserpine Tablets are a medication used to treat early and mid-stage hypertension. Its components include reserpine, hydrochlorothiazide, vitamin B6, and other ingredients. This medication primarily lowers blood pressure by dilating peripheral blood vessels and reducing peripheral vascular resistance, and it also has certain central nervous system sedative effects.

It is suitable for the treatment of mild to moderate hypertension, particularly for patients with increased heart rate or edema symptoms. The combined effects of various components in Compound Reserpine Tablets can effectively lower blood pressure. In addition to lowering blood pressure, it also has hypoglycemic, antiemetic, and diuretic effects.

Compound Reserpine Tablets are not suitable for all patients with hypertension. Specific populations such as those with hypokalemia, hepatic insufficiency, pregnant women, and lactating women should avoid its use. In addition, long-term use may cause some side effects; for example, patients allergic to the components may develop pruritic rash, nausea, vomiting, and other symptoms. Prolonged or excessive use may induce or exacerbate depression.

It is recommended to use this medication under the guidance of a physician.
