Isoxsuprine

Uses

Isoxsuprine is used for the management of premature labor and peripheral vascular disease.

How it Works

How Isoxsuprine works Isoxsuprine is a beta-adrenergic agonist. It functions by preventing contractions of the smooth muscles in the uterus, thereby relaxing the uterus to prevent premature labor. Additionally, it helps widen blood vessels to increase blood flow, improving circulation to certain areas of the body, such as the hands, feet, and brain. Consequently, it is also effective in treating peripheral vascular disease.
