The potential interaction between ketanserin and propranolol has been investigated in eight healthy volunteers. Volunteers received single doses of placebo, propranolol (80 mg), ketanserin (20 mg), and propranolol (80 mg) plus ketanserin (20 mg) following a randomised double‐blind regimen. A single dose of ketanserin had little effect on resting heart rate and blood pressure and the effects of propranolol and ketanserin in combination were similar to those of propranolol alone. The inhibition of exercise induced tachycardia by propranolol was not affected by ketanserin. The pharmacokinetics of propranolol elimination were not influenced by the concurrent administration of ketanserin, nor the pharmacokinetics of ketanserin by propranolol.
