Indications of Urinide 1 Tablet
Bumetanide is used to treat edema caused by congestive heart failure, ascites in the liver, and renal illness, especially nephrotic syndrome.
Pharmacology of Urinide 1 Tablet
The role of pizotifen is to inhibit the peripheral effects of serotonin and histamine, increase the permeability of cranial blood vessels and exudate plasma kinin, and at the same time change the pain threshold of migraine headaches. By blocking 5HT receptors, pizotifen attenuates serotonin signaling that causes cranial vasoconstriction, and serotonin improves platelet function and aggregation. There is evidence that it also inhibits the peripheral effects of bradykinin. Pyrazotifen can inhibit the reuptake of serotonin by platelets, which affects tension and reduces passive dilation of the extracranial arteries. Pyzotifen's effect on appetite stimulation may be due to the drug acting at the metabolic level rather than directly stimulating the appetite center.
