Pharmacological action

Antihypertensive drugs, oksazolina derivative. Selectively interacts with imidazolinovymi receptors (I1) cortical and peripheral vasomotor centers, in particular kidney centers. Linking with rilmenidine imidazolinovymi receptors ingibiruet sympathomimetic activity as cortical, and peripheral centres, that leads to lower HELL.

Albarel® has a dose-dependent hypotensive effect on systolic and diastolic HELL lying and standing. Displaying, that use of the drug Albarel® at therapeutic doses (1 or 2 mg / day) effective in treating mild to moderate hypertension. The product lasts for 24 no, effective exercise. With long-term use, addictive is not.

In therapeutic doses, Albarel® does not affect heart function, no delays sodium and water, does not violate the metabolic balance.

Albarel® impact round without changes of cardiac output. Airway diseases and electrophysiological indexes remain unchanged.

Albarel® does not cause orthostatic hypotension (incl. the elderly); does not violate the compensatory physiological responses of heart rate on exercise; does not affect kidney blood, clubockovu filtering or filtration fraction; has no effect on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism (incl. patients with insulinzawisimam and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus).

 

Pharmacokinetics

Absorption

After taking the drug inside rilmenidin rapidly and completely absorbed from the digestive tract. After one reception Albarela® dose 1 mg Cmax plasma achieved through 1.5-2 h and is 3.5 ng / ml. The absolute bioavailability of 100%; not exposed to the effect of “first pass” through the liver. Absorption occurs identically among different patients: mezhindividualnye changes are not marked. Simultaneous eating does not affect the bioavailability.

Distribution

Plasma protein binding is less than 10%. Vd – 5 l / kg.

After reapplying the equilibrium is established from the third day of a regular dose. In patients with arterial hypertension, receiving treatment for 2 years, Albarela concentration® plasma remains stable.

Provided with breast milk.

Albarel® biotransformiroetsa slightly. Metabolites are found in trace quantities in urine and are the result of hydrolysis or oxidation of oksazolinovogo rings. These metabolites are not agonists α2-adrenoreceptorov.

Deduction

65% the dose appears in an unmodified form with urine. Renal clearance is 2/3 of the total clearance.

T1/2 is 8 no; does not change when the reappointment.

Pharmacokinetics in special clinical situations

T1/2 among persons aged 70 years of age and older is 13 ± 1 h.

In patients with liver failure T1/2 makes 12 ± 1 h.

Because drug excretion occurs mainly kidneys, in patients with the human kidney excretion of the drug a slowdown, that correlates with the size of the CC. In patients with acute violations of the kidney (CC less than 15 ml / min) T1/2 is about 35 no.
