Pentolinium (brand name Ansolysen) is a ganglionic cholinergic antagonist, acting on alpha 3 beta 4 neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). It was used as an antihypertensive drug during surgery or to control hypertensive crises, but Ansolysen was discontinued. Pentolinium inhibits release of adrenaline and noradrenaline from adrenergic nerves.

Sample Use Guides

intramuscularly: 1 to 2 0.25-mg ampoules Ansolysen must be used with caution. The initial dose is from 20-40 mg., taken 15 to 20 minutes before each meal and at bedtime, to ensure an even digestive absorption. Each dose is increased by 20-40 mg. four times a day at intervals of five to seven days until the desired hvpotensive effect is obtained. The maintenance dose varies generally between 160 and 800 mg. a day.
