✔️ Pharmacology

Cinnarizine has multiple pharmacological actions, including calcium-channel blocking activity, antihistamine activity, and labyrinthine sedative effects. As a calcium antagonist, it selectively blocks the influx of calcium ions into arterial smooth muscle cells, leading to vasodilation and improved microcirculation. By inhibiting calcium-dependent contraction, it helps alleviate vestibular symptoms and prevent peripheral arterial disease. Additionally, its antihistamine activity may contribute to its effectiveness in treating conditions such as motion sickness.
