Pharmacological action
Anti-inflammatory, as well as anti-bronchoconstrictor activity of the drug is due to the fact that the active substance fenspiride helps to reduce the production of a number of biologically active components that play a significant role in the formation of inflammation. These include harmful substances such as arachidonic acid derivatives, as well as free radicals. This is indicated by the instructions for 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 adrenergic receptors, whose stimulation is accompanied by an increase in the secretion of the bronchial glands. Thus, fenspiride helps to reduce the action of a number of factors that lead to hypersecretion of pro-inflammatory factors, as well as to the occurrence of inflammation along with bronchial obstruction. In addition, "Fenspiride" acts as an antispasmodic component.
