Almitrine Bismesylate
Almitrine Bismesylate is a bronchodilator and a vasoconstrictor, which means it helps to open up the airways in the lungs and increase blood flow to the lungs. Almitrine Bismesylate is thought to work by stimulating the activity of certain receptors in the lungs, which leads to the relaxation of smooth muscle and the opening of air passages. This can help to improve breathing and reduce the symptoms of COPD, such as shortness of breath and wheezing.
Almitrine Bismesylate is used to treat-
- chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- emphysema
- chronic bronchitis

It's usually taken in tablet form, the usual adult dosage of Almitrine Bismesylate is one tablet twice a day, with or immediately after a meal.
