Jonathan,
Do you know if Farmacia Cerati also have ketanserine available as solution for injection?
I've tried to explore their home-page but could not find anything about ketanserine there.

> Ketanserin (Italian generic name ketanserina) is available from Farmacia Cerati, brand name Sufrexal (manuf. Janssen Cilag SpA). 30 tablets, each containing 40 mg of the tartrate, cost Euro 23.26 (about $20) plus shipping. Its most common clinical use is for hypertension.

If you're really interested, I'll find the web site. I think, tho, that the manufacturer has stopped making it, so you might not be able to use it long-term. I do know that both ritanserin and ketanserin were in clinical trials and they proved ineffective for schizophrenia, but I think they're in trials for depression now.
