Reserepine side effects of orthostatic hypotension occur due to
blockade of alpha adrenoreceptor
Regarding antipsychotic drugs, loss of accommodation, dry mouth, difficulty urinating and constipation occur due to
muscarinic cholinoceptor blockade
Amenorrhea, galactorrhea, infertility, impotence occur due to
dopamine -recetor blockade resulting in hyperprolactinemia
