Metadec 50MG Inj

Composition

Metaraminol tartrate 50 mg/mL injection

Uses of Metadec 50MG Inj

Treatment of acute hypotension (low blood pressure), especially associated with spinal/epidural anaesthesia, shock states, or during surgery/critical care to maintain blood pressure

• •Raises blood pressure in acute hypotension
• •Restores vascular tone via vasoconstriction
• •Useful during spinal/epidural anesthesia-induced hypotension
• •Supports hemodynamics in perioperative/critical care settings

How it works

Metaraminol is a sympathomimetic vasopressor that primarily stimulates alpha-1 adrenergic receptors causing peripheral vasoconstriction. This increases systemic vascular resistance and raises arterial blood pressure; it may also have indirect norepinephrine-releasing activity.

Directions for use

For intravenous use only under medical supervision (hospital setting). Administer as slow IV injection or IV infusion after dilution as prescribed; dose is titrated to blood pressure response with continuous monitoring of BP, heart rate and ECG.
