Cinnarizinum Hasco

Cinnarizinum Hasco Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

Cinnarizinum Hasco provides quick relief of various symptoms of cerebral and peripheral circulation disorders. Cinnarizinum Hasco protects attacks of vascular headache such as migraine. Cinnarizinum Hasco normalizes cerebral circulation time and improves cerebral irrigation in patients suffering from the disorders of cerebral circulation. Cinnarizinum Hasco normalizes arterial pulsations in patients suffering from vasospastic disorders. Cinnarizinum Hasco significantly increases the rate of inflow or pulsation and the blood flow in the most affected limb as well as the walking distance of patients suffering from intermittent claudication.

Cinnarizinum Hasco acts as an antihistamine, labyrinthine sedative and a peripheral antivasoconstrictor. Inarzin is a selective calcium antagonist, inhibiting the influx of Ca2+ intracellularly. It prevents the Ca2+ dependent contraction of arterial smooth muscle by inhibiting Ca2+ influx through smooth muscle calcium channels and thereby, improves vestibular symptoms and prevents peripheral arterial disease.

Cinnarizinum Hasco is an antihistamine and a calcium channel blocker. Histamines mediate a number of activities such as contraction of smooth muscle of the airways and gastrointestinal tract, vasodilatation, cardiac stimulation, secretion of gastric acid, promotion of interleukin release and chemotaxis of eosinophils and mast cells. Competitive antagonists at histamine H1 receptors may be divided into first (sedating) and second (non-sedating) generation agents. Some, such as Cinnarizinum Hasco also block muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and are used as anti-emetic agents. Cinnarizinum Hasco through its calcium channel blocking ability also inhibits stimulation of the vestibular system.

How Cinnarizinum Hasco works

Cinnarizinum Hasco inhibits contractions of vascular smooth muscle cells by blocking L-type and T-type voltage gated calcium channels. Cinnarizinum Hasco has also been implicated in binding to dopamine D2 receptors, histamine H1 receptors, and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors.
