DESCRIPTION
Albarel (Rilmenidine) is primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It belongs to the class of imidazoline receptor agonists, which work by lowering blood pressure through effects on the central and peripheral nervous systems.
Albarel (Rilmenidine) acts mainly on imidazoline I1 receptors found in the brainstem, which helps regulate sympathetic nervous system activity. This leads to a reduced sympathetic outflow, resulting in lower heart rate and blood pressure. Decreased vascular resistance, leading to improved blood flow. A mild effect on alpha-2 adrenergic receptors, contributing to its antihypertensive properties. Compared to traditional centrally acting agents (e.g., clonidine), rilmenidine has fewer sedative and dry mouth side effects. Rilmenidine is an effective antihypertensive medication with several benefits, particularly for patients who may not tolerate other blood pressure-lowering drugs well.
Benefits:
Effective in lowering blood pressure with minimal side effects.
Less risk of sedation compared to other central-acting antihypertensives.
Suitable for long-term use in managing hypertension.
