b) Prospan - RM 15.90 for 100 ml
Prospan's mode of action explained
- Beta 2 receptors in the bronchial cells are stimulated by the presence of adrenalin or other beta 2 receptors.
- Bronchial cells have a down regulation system to prevent over stimulation.
- This down regulation leads to the internalisation of the receptors when exposed to adrenaline.
- The active ingredient in Prospan blocks this internalisation and leaves more receptors available on the cells surface so that naturally-ocurring adrenaline can work more effectively.
Prospan's effect
- The increased number of adrenaline stimulated beta 2 receptors leads to greater production of cyclic AMP.
- Greater cAMP production has 2 outcomes:
- more surfactant is produced in the lungs reducing mucus viscosity
- the level of intra-cellular calcium is reduced resulting in broncho-dilation
