Almitrine Bismesylate & Raubasine combines raubasine, a vasodilator; and almitrine, a respiratory stimulant. Raubasine has a adrenolytic activity which is predominantly related to a post-synaptic blocking effect. Furthermore, under conditions of cerebral hypoxia, almitrine causes an increase in the partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (Pa0₂); almitrine causes an increase in the Pa0₂ and an increase in the oxygen saturation in arterial blood (Sa0₂), without modifying ventilatory parameters.

1 tablet once or twice daily (taken separately, several hours apart), without exceeding 2 tablets per day. Or, as directed by the registered physicians.

Do not associate with MAO-l (monoamine oxidase inhibitor), Not to be used concurrently with other almitrine-containing preparations.
