DACTIVE

Dactive is an imidazopyridine compound that interacts with the GABA receptor complex’s benzodiazepine (BZD) channels, causing reduced neuronal excitability, enhanced chloride conductance, action potential suppression, and neuronal hyperpolarisation. Because its preference is the BZ1-receptor over the BZ2-receptor, it has a substantial sedative effect but relatively little anticonvulsant, myorelaxant, and anxiolytic.

Use this medication precisely as recommended by your physician. Follow the prescription of your doctor carefully.
