DESCRIPTION

Vasfree 100 belongs to the class of selective neuronal potassium channel activators. The effect on potassium ion current is mediated by the action of the drug regulatory system on the G-protein. Analgesic activity is based on indirect antagonism of NMDA (N-metil-D-aspartat) -receptors, and the modulation of pain mechanisms is related to the effects on the GABA system. At therapeutic concentrations, flupirtine does not bind to alpha 1, alpha 2-adrenergic receptors, serotonin 5NT1-, 5HT2-receptors, dopaminergic, benzodiazepine, opiate, or central muskarinergic, nicotinergic receptors. The central action of flupirtine is based on 3 main effects: (1) Analgesic effect (2) Muscle relaxing properties (3) Neuroprotective effect.
