Description

Cimetropium bromide (cimetropium) is a semi-synthetic belladonna alkaliod, a quaternary derivatives of scopolamine. Cimetropium was used in Italy under the name Alginor for the treatment of painful gastrointestinal conditions, such as irritant bowel syndrome or infant colics as well as in preparation for diagnostic procedures. The drug exerts its action by binding to muscarinic receptors and inhibiting their activity.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Solution for injection: 1 vial (equivalent to 5 mg of cimetropium bromide) given intravenously or intramuscularly in the onset of painful spastic crisis. The injection can be repeated in the event of pain relapse even 3-4 times a day (spastic-painful manifestations of the gastrointestinal tract); 2 ampoules (equivalent to 10 mg of cimetropium bromide) given intravenously (preparation for instrumental investigations). Tablets: 1 tablet (equivalent to 50 mg of cimetropium bromide) 2-3 times daily in adults. Oral solution: 20 drops (equivalent to 50 mg of cimetropium bromide) 3 times per day in adults and 3-5 drops (equivalent to 1.2-2 mg of cimetropium bromide) per kg of weight 4-6 times per day in children.
Route of Administration: Other
In Vitro Use Guide
Longitudinal muscle preparations with myenteric plexus of guinea-pig ileum were treated with 0.1, 1, 10 uM cimetropium. The drug caused inhibition of contraction of the preparations, induced by exogenous ACh or electrical field stimulation. pA2 value was determined to be 7.96.
