About ReserpineCentral Monoamine-Depleting Agent, Rauwolfia Alkaloid, Antihypertensive , antipsychotic.Mechanism of Action of ReserpineThe drug exerts its action by causing depletion of Catecholamine and serotonin which leads to decrease in blood pressure & bradycardia. Reserpine acts at the intraneural granular membrane which stores monoamines like Adrenaline, nor adrenaline, Serotonin, & Dopamine and irreversibly inhibits the active amine transport & storage. The mono amines are gradually depleted and degraded by MAO. It also inhibits the release of renin.Hypotensive action is primarily due to depletion of nor adrenaline from peripheral neurons.Pharmacokinets of ReserpineAbsorption: well absorbed orally and parenterally, Distribution: Widely distributed preferably in to lipid rich tissues Metabolism: Metabolized inside the bodyOnset of Action for ReserpineFew daysDuration of Action for ReserpineN/AHalf Life of ReserpineN/ASide Effects of Reserpine1.Excessive salivation

About Dihydralazine sulphateA pyridazine antiadrenergic agent, Nonsympatholytic vasodilatory antihypertensives.Mechanism of Action of Dihydralazine sulphateDihydralazine is an antihypertensive and its actions are similar to Hydralazine.Hydralazine exerts its pharmacological actions by direct vasodilator action on arteriolar smooth muscles with little actions on venous capacitance vessels. It produces after load reduction by dilating resistance vessels which leads to decreasing aortic impedence.So that more blood is pumped even in weaker ventricular contractions. It decreases total peripheral resistance and there is greater decrease in diastolic pressure than systolic pressure. There is a decrease in intracellular Ca2+concentration but there is no reduction in renal blood flow.Pharmacokinets of Dihydralazine sulphateAbsorption: It is well absorbed orally, but bioavailability is low in fast acetylators.Distribution: Widely distributed in a highly plasma protein bound form.Metabolism: It is metabolized in liver,plasma and gastrointestinal mucosa. Excretion: Excreted mainly through urine and the rest of dose is excreted through bile and faeces.
