Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
The precise mechanisms underlying the beneficial clinical effects of this drug are not clear. It has anti-adrenergic activity at α-adrenoceptors which likely accounts for the vasodilatory effect [2]. Drug-induced histamine release via activation of the histamine H1 receptors may synergise with the adrenergic vasodilatory effect. See the DrugBank link for further details.
