pirenzepine and Liver Cirrhosis, Alcoholic

pirenzepine has been researched along with Liver Cirrhosis, Alcoholic in 1 studies

Pirenzepine: An antimuscarinic agent that inhibits gastric secretion at lower doses than are required to affect gastrointestinal motility, salivary, central nervous system, cardiovascular, ocular, and urinary function. It promotes the healing of duodenal ulcers and due to its cytoprotective action is beneficial in the prevention of duodenal ulcer recurrence. It also potentiates the effect of other antiulcer agents such as CIMETIDINE and RANITIDINE. It is generally well tolerated by patients.

Liver Cirrhosis, Alcoholic: FIBROSIS of the hepatic parenchyma due to chronic excess ALCOHOL DRINKING.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In order to evaluate the possible involvement of muscarinic cholinergic receptors in the GH response to TRH in patients with liver cirrhosis, 8 males with post-hepatitic cirrhosis and 11 males with post-alcoholic cirrhosis were primed with the anticholinergic agent pirenzepine and tested with TRH."3.67Cholinergic mediation of growth hormone secretion induced by thyrotropin-releasing hormone in cirrhotic patients.
