Imidalin
Imidalin Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
A vasodilator that apparently has direct actions on blood vessels and also increases cardiac output. Imidalin 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.
Imidalin is a pulmonary vasodilator indicated used to decrease pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) in persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN).

Uses
Imidalin is a vasodilator used to treat pulmonary artery anomalies.
For the treatment of pulmonary artery anomalies
How Imidalin 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. Imidalin usually reduces pulmonary arterial pressure and vascular resistance.
