Flexyx drugs: Imidaline

Imidaline - General Information:

A vasodilator that apparently has direct actions on blood vessels and also increases cardiac output. Imidaline can interact to some degree with histamine, adrenergic, and cholinergic receptors, but the mechanisms of its therapeutic effects are not clear. It is used in treatment of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn. [PubChem]

Pharmacology:

Imidaline is a pulmonary vasodilator indicated used to decrease pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) in persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN).

Additional information about Imidaline

Imidaline Indication: For the treatment of pulmonary artery anomalies
Mechanism Of Action: Vasodilation by means of a direct effect on peripheral vascular smooth muscle and indirect effects produced, in part, by release of endogenous histamine; tolazoline has moderate alpha-adrenergic blocking activity and has histamine agonist activity. Imidaline usually reduces pulmonary arterial pressure and vascular resistance.
