Properties

Cinnarizine is a selective blocker of «slow» calcium channels, reduces the intake of calcium ions into cells and reduces their concentration in the plasmolemma depot, reduces the tone of smooth muscles of arterioles, enhances the vasodilating effect of carbon dioxide. Directly affecting the smooth muscles of the vessel reduces their response to biogenic vasoconstrictor substances (adrenaline and norepinephrine). It has a vasodilating effect

(especially in relation to cerebral vessels), without significantly affecting blood pressure. Shows moderate antihistamine activity, reduces the excitability of the vestibular apparatus, lowers the tone of the sympathetic nervous system. Effective in patients with latent cerebral circulation insufficiency, initial atherosclerosis of cerebral vessels and chronic diseases of cerebral vessels with post-stroke focal symptoms. In patients with impaired peripheral circulation, it improves blood supply to organs and tissues (including the myocardium), enhances postischemic vasodilation. Increases the elasticity of erythrocyte membranes, their ability to deform, reduces blood viscosity. Increases muscle resistance to hypoxia.
