pharmachologic effect
The anti-inflammatory, as well as anti-bronchoconstrictor activity of the drug is explained by the fact that the active substance fenspiride helps to reduce the production of a number of biologically active components, which play a significant role in the formation of inflammation. These include harmful substances such as derivatives of arachidonic acid, as well as free radicals. This is indicated by the instructions for the Erespal from the radar.
The process of inhibition of the metabolism of arachidonic acid by the active substance is carried out due to the blockade of histamine receptors. Histamine in this case stimulates the formation of acid products. The active substance fenspiride blocks the so-called adrenoreceptors, whose stimulation is accompanied by an increase in the secretion of bronchial glands. So, fenspiride helps to reduce the effects of a number of reasons that lead to hypersecretion of pro-inflammatory factors, as well as to the occurrence of inflammation along with obstruction of the bronchi. In addition, Fenspiride acts as an antispasmodic component.
