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 (Pa0 2 ); almitrine causes an increase in the Pa0 2 and an increase in the oxygen saturation in arterial blood (Sa0 2 ), without modifying ventilatory parameters.
