The article deals with reserpine influence on mental and physical working capacity, psychic state and professionally relevant functions of memory and concentration in 36 male patients of 50 +/- 2.0 years of age suffering from arterial hypertension and engaged in professions characterized with extreme neuro-emotional stress conditions ( enterprise managers). It was shown that reserpine induced a stable and significant hypotensive effect, improved the physiological indices and physical working capacity, but hampered the mental and cognitive function activity, concentration and short-term memory. Reserpine cannot be recommended for drug therapy in out-patient departments in the treatment of the patient professionally engaged in stable emotional stress conditions.
