摘要
The purpose of this study has been to compare the acute antihypertensive effect of a dose of 20 mg of ketanserin in 18 patients after sublingual administration and in 19 after oral administration. In three patients ketanserin and ketanserin-ol plasma levels were measured after both sublingual and oral administration. The results showed a more rapid, considerable antihypertensive effect after sublingual administration. In addition, the high plasma levels of ketanserin-ol, the metabolite produced by hepatic reduction of ketanserin, reached after sublingual administration, rather than transmucosal absorption, indicate that the clinical effect observed is due to more rapid dissolution of the tablet formulation and liberation of the active drug.
