How Metadec 50MG Inj 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.

Dosage & Directions

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.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.

Key Benefits

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

Pregnancy

Consult doctor (use only if clearly needed in emergency/hospital setting)

Alcohol Interaction

Use with caution (alcohol can worsen hypotension; clinical relevance mainly in hospital use)
