HI

literally means "paralysis Sympathetic outflow",these include Clonidine, methyldopa, guanethidine, hexamethanium, reserpine, prazosin, beta-blockers
they are different from sympathomimetics which causes hypertension and definitely contraindicated in hypertension!!!!!!!
if u need more explanations (illustration and figures) mail me drfax@hotmail.com

I hope u a good score
