Action
Pharmacology: Mode of Action: Praxilene has been shown to exert a direct effect on intracellular metabolism. Thus, it has been demonstrated in men and animals that it produces an increase of ATP levels, and a decrease of lactic acid levels in ischemic conditions, evidence for an enhancement of cellular oxidative capacity. Furthermore, Praxilene is a powerful spasmolytic agent.
