hey guyz! wht is the mechanism of orthostatic hypotensioin! alpha-1 blockade!
except for alpha blockers remember there are other classes of drugs tht can block alpha receptors:
- antipsychotics
- antihistaminics
- antidepressants
chlorpromazine belongs to phenothiazine group [antipsychotic]
answer is b!
btw same classes of drugs hold true for muscarinic blockade!
