Blood-pressure responses and changes in plasma drug concentration were studied in 11 hypertensive patients after an initial oral dose of 2 mg of prazosin. Subsequently, blood pressure was monitored during long-term treatment with prazosin. The prazosin reactivity index, a value derived during the first-dose study, appeared to predict the long-term antihypertensive effect of prazosin alone or prazosin combined with bendrofluazide.
