Pirazidol pills 50mg №50

Mechanism of action

Antidepressant. Combines the thymoleptic effect with a balanced effect on the central nervous system, while the activating effect in patients with apathetic, anergic depressions is combined with a sedative effect in patients with an agitated condition.
Selectively, briefly and reversibly inhibits MAO type A; to a high degree blocks deamination of serotonin and norepinephrine, and to a lesser extent, tyramine. Partially inhibits monoamine reuptake. It activates the processes of synaptic transmission of nervous excitement in the central nervous system.
Weakens the depressive effects of reserpine, potentiates the effects of the precursor of norepinephrine - dioxyphenylalanine (L-dopa), stimulates adrenergic structures; potentiates the effects of serotonin precursor 5-hydroxytryptophan (stimulates serotonergic structures).
Does not possess anticholinergic action. It has a nootropic effect, improves cognitive function.
