Parasympathetic stimulation to treat hypertension?


Recommended Posts

Hi:

 

I'm looking for a parasympathetic-stimulant -- in the form of a pill -- that:

 

1. Has minimal side effects

2. Has minimal withdrawal effects

3. Has minimal rebound effects

4. Not addictive -- physically or psychologically

5. Does not lose effect over time

6. Immediate-release

7. Fast-acting yet with persistent intended effects [i.e. treating hypertension]

8. Most potent

9. Highest concentration of the active ingredient in the pill

 

This active ingredient in this pill should have ultimate effect of treating hypertension by directly stimulating the neurons in parasympathetic nervous system. This will, in turn, signal the heart to slow down and result in a decrease in blood pressure.

 

Which medication should I take?

 

 

Thanks,

 

GX

Why even bother? No physician will prescribe one in uncomplicated hypertension ... Medications that are prescribed are thiazide diuretics, beta blockers, calcium antagonists, ACE-inhibitors and sartans... to a lesser degree central antihypertensive drugs and alpha-1-blockers (sympathicolytic drug)

 

I'm not aware of drugs that actively enhance the functioning of the PSy NS, but you might want to look up AChEI's ([acetyl]cholinesterase inhibitors)

The criteria you give make it rather impossible to find a drug.
