Isopropamide is a long-acting anticholinergic drug used to relieve symptoms of spastic and painful symptoms of gastrointestinal conditions and symptoms of flu, colds, and related conditions. It is used in the treatment of peptic ulcer and other gastrointestinal disorders marked by hyperacidity and hypermotility.
- Mechanism
- Curator reviewed
Anticholinergics are a class of medications that inhibit parasympathetic nerve impulses by selectively blocking the binding of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to its receptor in nerve cells. The nerve fibers of the parasympathetic system are responsible for the involuntary movements of smooth muscles present in the gastrointestinal tract. Inhibition here decreases acidity and motility, aiding in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders.
