Respiratory stimulants

Japanese: 呼吸興奮薬 - こきゅうこうふんやく
Respiratory stimulants
A drug used to stimulate respiratory function in cases of respiratory depression caused by overdosing on hypnotics or other central nervous system depressants, neonatal asphyxia, or pulmonary ventilation failure caused by illness. Among central nervous system stimulants, dimorpholamine, dimefrine, nikethamide, doxapram, etc. are relatively selective for the respiratory center in the medulla oblongata and are used as central respiratory stimulants. On the other hand, lobeline, a component of Lobelia, stimulates chemoreceptors in the carotid artery and aorta, causing a reflex respiratory stimulant effect.
