Medicine Description gynipral 10mg
Gynipral 10mg Ampoules is a medication that contains hexoprenaline sulfate, a selective beta-2 adrenergic agonist. Its primary function is to stimulate beta-2 adrenergic receptors in the smooth muscle of the bronchial passages and the uterus. By activating these receptors, hexoprenaline induces relaxation of the smooth muscle, leading to bronchodilation and uterine relaxation. This mechanism is particularly beneficial in the context of preventing preterm labor by inhibiting uterine contractions and in managing bronchospasm by relaxing airway muscles.
