Cinepazet

Cinepazet is a vasodilator and calcium channel blocker that is used in the treatment of angina pectoris. It is a drug that is not commonly used, but it can be effective in certain cases.

Mechanism of Action

Cinepazet works by relaxing the smooth muscle in the walls of the arteries, which allows the arteries to widen (dilate). This increases the flow of blood and oxygen to the heart, which can help to relieve symptoms of angina pectoris.

Uses

Cinepazet is used to treat angina pectoris, a condition characterized by chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. It can also be used to treat other conditions that involve poor blood flow to the heart.

Side Effects

Like all drugs, Cinepazet can cause side effects. These may include headache, dizziness, nausea, and flushing. If these side effects persist or worsen, patients are advised to contact their doctor.

Contraindications

Cinepazet should not be used by people with certain medical conditions, such as hypotension (low blood pressure), heart failure, or certain types of heart rhythm disorders. It should also not be used by people who are allergic to any of the ingredients in the drug.

Interactions

Cinepazet can interact with other drugs, which can affect how it works or increase the risk of side effects. These include other vasodilators, calcium channel blockers, and certain types of antihypertensive drugs.
