How Benzazoline works

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. Benzazoline usually reduces pulmonary arterial pressure and vascular resistance.
