Uragelan^®

Urapidil, the active substance in Uragelan^®, is a blood pressure-lowering drug from the group of alpha-adrenoceptor antagonists. On the one hand, it causes a decrease in vascular resistance (via a blockade of alpha receptors). This dilates the blood vessels and lowers the blood pressure. On the other hand, it also prevents the counter-reaction (increase in heart rate) of the autonomic nervous system. The heart rate therefore remains largely constant.
