Tác dụng
Description: Mechanism of Action: Betahistine is a histamine analogue that is claimed to improve the microcirculation of the labyrinth resulting in decreased endolymphatic pressure. The exact mechanism is not yet fully determined; however, it is known to act as both a partial histamine H1-receptor agonist and histamine H3-receptor antagonist in neuronal tissue, with negligible histamine H2-receptor activity. It inhibits presynaptic histamine H3-receptors and induces H3-receptor downregulation, thus increasing the histamine turnover and release. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Readily and almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Delayed absorption with food. Time to peak plasma concentration: 1 hour (inactive metabolite). Distribution: Plasma protein binding: <5%. Metabolism: Rapidly and almost completely metabolised into 2-pyridylacetic acid (inactive metabolite). Excretion: Via urine (approx 91%; mainly as inactive metabolite). Elimination half-life: Approx 3.5 hours (inactive metabolite).
