Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
Terguride is a serotonin receptor antagonist, with highest affinity for 5-HT2B and 5-HT2A receptor subtypes. In the treatment of PAH, terguride binds to serotonin receptors in blood vessel walls and inhibits its actions on the smooth muscle cells. Thus counter-acts PAH. The MMOA in systemic sclerosis appears to involve inhibition of the serotonin-induced abnormal growth of fibrous connective tissue associated with this disease.
