It was withdrawn for agranulocytosis in several countries.
Cinepazide Maleate (intravenousinjection; 30 mg/kg) potentiates the vertebral vasodilator response of dogs to intravertebral adenosine and cyclic AMP, while cinnarizine reduces their vasodilator effects[1].Cinepazide Maleate (intravertebral injection; 1-10 mg/kg) increases vertebral blood flow in a dose-related mannerin dogs[1].
