ketanserin and Asthma

ketanserin has been researched along with Asthma in 5 studies

Ketanserin: A selective serotonin receptor antagonist with weak adrenergic receptor blocking properties. The drug is effective in lowering blood pressure in essential hypertension. It also inhibits platelet aggregation. It is well tolerated and is particularly effective in older patients.
ketanserin : A member of the class of quinazolines that is quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-dione which is substituted at position 3 by a 2-[4-(p-fluorobenzoyl)piperidin-1-yl]ethyl group.

Asthma: A form of bronchial disorder with three distinct components: airway hyper-responsiveness (RESPIRATORY HYPERSENSITIVITY), airway INFLAMMATION, and intermittent AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION. It is characterized by spasmodic contraction of airway smooth muscle, WHEEZING, and dyspnea (DYSPNEA, PAROXYSMAL).

"We have studied eight adult atopic asthmatic patients in a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over trial in order to examine the effects of the 5 HT2 antagonist ketanserin on airways function (FEV1, FVC, V50(chi), and V25(pi]."9.06The effects of the 5 HT2 antagonist ketanserin in adult atopic asthma.
