Medicine Description vasoxuprine 20mg
Vasoxuprine 20mg Tablets is a medication that functions primarily as a vasodilator. Its active ingredient, Isoxuprine, promotes relaxation of the vascular smooth muscle, leading to the dilation of blood vessels. This vasodilation enhances blood flow, particularly in peripheral areas, which helps alleviate symptoms associated with poor circulation. The mechanism is mediated through β-adrenergic receptor stimulation, leading to increased levels of cyclic AMP within the cells, further facilitating relaxation of the smooth muscle. By improving blood flow to the extremities, Vasoxuprine helps mitigate symptoms like pain and numbness, particularly in conditions associated with vascular insufficiency.
