Papaverine (Pavarine)
|
Papaverine is a natural heterocyclic nitrogen alkaloid, found in opium poppy (Papaver somniferum), which acts as a vasodilator to cause blood vessels to expand, increasing blood flow. The drug also serves as a muscle relaxer and acts directly on the heart muscle to depress conduction and prolong the refractory period. Side effects include coughing, skin rash, swelling and yellow eyes and skin. |
