Thiazinamium Metilsulfate is a pharmacological agent that belongs to the class of drugs known as anticholinergics. It is primarily used in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders and respiratory diseases.
Pharmacodynamics[edit | edit source]
Thiazinamium Metilsulfate works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that transmits signals in the nervous system. By inhibiting the action of acetylcholine, Thiazinamium Metilsulfate reduces the contractions of smooth muscles in the gastrointestinal tract and bronchial tubes, thereby relieving symptoms associated with disorders in these areas.

Contraindications[edit | edit source]

Interactions[edit | edit source]
