Prazosin was administered to 16 patients with essential hypertension in an initial dose of 0.5 mg, after which the blood pressure (BP), pulse and plasma concentrations of prazosin were measured at 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 24 h. The dose of prazosin was increased over 16-20 wk, and similar sequences of measurements were obtained twice. Eleven patients completed the 20-wk course. All patients did not respond in a similar way; 2 distinct patterns of BP and pulse response emerged, although there was no significant difference in the pharmacokinetic parameters, namely, absorption rate constant (Ka), maximum plasma concentration (Cpmax), time to reach the maximum concentration (Tmax), prazosin plasma half-life (T1/2), elimination rate constant (kel), prazosin plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) and clearance. Patients in group 1 had a marked reduction (52/30 mm Hg) of BP after the 1st dose of prazosin, no pulse increase and needed a small dose of prazosin to maintain an adequate BP response. Patients in group 3 had a minimal reduction in BP (14/13 mm Hg) after a 1st dose, a significant pulse increase and needed a high dose of prazosin to control their BP. This effect might be due to a different drug-receptor interaction and the BP response and dose could be predicted from the response of the 1st dose of prazosin.
