Effectiveness
How Trinalin Affects PatientsPseudoephedrine can help reduce congestion by narrowing the blood vessels. It usually works quickly, but if taken in extended-release form the effects last longer. Patients should be aware that it can cause stimulation of the central nervous system.
How Trinalin works in the bodyPseudoephedrine is a drug that works by activating certain receptors in the body. It tightens blood vessels, making it useful for relieving congestion, and can help treat priapism. It also blocks the action of certain neurotransmitters, like norepinephrine and dopamine, and prevents certain proteins from turning on. These effects cause an increase in blood pressure and heart rate, and can help relax the muscles of the rectum.
