Iit is a homepathic dose (i.e., greatly diluted) of resperine in a glycerin base. There is a list of possible adverse reactions. Go to  http://www.respen-a.com/index.html  then click on "Product Information" near the upper left corner of the page. You'll bet taken into a PDF file; the adverse reactions are on p. 10. The PDF file is protected so I can't cut and paste. You'll have to look it up yourself.Resperine is an "antihypertensive" (used against high blood pressure) and for the treatment of "agitated psychotic states," such a schizophrenia. But "Respen A contains 10 times less resperine than the dosages that have been corrolated with these adverse effects" (see the list of adverse reactions I mentioned). n______________________________A funny, touching gift book for cat lovers.
