Iprazochrome
Iprazochrome is a vasodilator and antiplatelet medication. It is used in the treatment of cerebrovascular disorders. Iprazochrome is also known as Azapetine and is classified under the ATC code N06BX.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Iprazochrome is a synthetic compound that acts as a vasodilator and antiplatelet agent. It works by inhibiting the aggregation of platelets, which are small blood cells that help in the clotting process. This action helps to improve blood flow, particularly in the brain, and reduce the risk of stroke and other cerebrovascular disorders.
Medical Uses[edit | edit source]
Iprazochrome is primarily used in the treatment of cerebrovascular disorders. These are conditions that affect the blood vessels and blood supply to the brain. By improving blood flow and reducing the risk of clot formation, Iprazochrome can help to alleviate symptoms and reduce the risk of serious complications.
Side Effects[edit | edit source]
Like all medications, Iprazochrome can cause side effects. These may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and headache. In rare cases, it may cause serious side effects such as bleeding, hypotension, and allergic reactions. Patients should seek medical attention immediately if they experience any severe or worrying side effects.
Contraindications[edit | edit source]
Iprazochrome should not be used by patients with a known allergy to the medication. It is also contraindicated in patients with severe liver disease, kidney disease, or bleeding disorders.
