Pathway Description
Aceprometazine H1-Antihistamine Blood Vessel Constriction Action Pathway
Homo sapiens
Drug Action Pathway
Aceprometazine is a is a drug with neuroleptic and anti-histamine properties. Although not widely prescribed, it is used in combination with meprobamate for the treatment of sleep disorders in France under the trade name Mepronizine. Aceprometazine, acting as an H1-receptor antagonist can induce sedation by being able to cross the blood-brain-barrier and binding to H1-receptors in the central nervous system.
