Medicine Description gynipral 5mg
Gynipral 5mg Tablets is a medication that contains hexoprenaline, which is a beta-2 adrenergic agonist. Its primary mechanism involves stimulating beta-2 adrenergic receptors located on the smooth muscle of the uterus, leading to muscle relaxation. This action inhibits contractions and helps manage premature labor by reducing uterine activity. Additionally, hexoprenaline may exhibit some beta-2 receptor activity in the respiratory tract, but its primary clinical application is obstetric rather than respiratory.
