Suzaron 15 mg Tablet 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.
Suzaron 15 mg Tablet 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 Suzaron 15 mg Tablet also block muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and are used as anti-emetic agents. Suzaron 15 mg Tablet through its calcium channel blocking ability also inhibits stimulation of the vestibular system.
