Isopropamide
Uses
Isopropamide is used as a pain reliever to relieve pain caused by smooth muscle spasms
How it Works
Isopropamide Iodide works by inhibiting the parasympathetic nerve impulses by selectively blocking the binding of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to its receptor in the nerve cells. Inhibition at the nerve fibers of the parasympathetic system decreases acidity and motility, aiding in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders. The nerve fibers of the parasympathetic system are responsible for the involuntary movements of smooth muscles present in the gastrointestinal tract.
