Blue Beam 10 mg Injection 10 ml

Blue Beam 10 mg Injection is used to treat a condition called methemoglobinemia. Besides this, it can be used to treat vasodilatory shock unresponsive to conventional therapy. Methemoglobinemia is a condition that occurs when the blood cannot deliver oxygen where it is needed in the body. Vasodilatory shock is a medical emergency in which your body cannot get enough blood to your heart, brain, and kidneys.

Blue Beam 10 mg Injection contains Methylene Blue. Methylene blue works by converting methemoglobin to a more efficient type of haemoglobin to better carry oxygen throughout the body.

A qualified healthcare professional will administer Blue Beam 10 mg Injection. You may experience mild to moderate pain at the site of injection, pain in your arms or legs, blue or green urine, altered sense of taste, headache, dizziness, sweating, skin discolouration, nausea, and feeling warm. Most of these side effects of Blue Beam 10 mg Injection do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, contact your doctor.

If you have a glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, you should avoid using methylene blue. Many medicines, particularly antidepressants, can interact with methylene blue. So, before taking the Blue Beam 10 mg Injection, inform your doctor about all of your medical issues, sensitivities, and drugs. Also, let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding.

Blue Beam 10 mg Injection contains Methylene Blue, which belongs to the class of monoamine oxidase inhibitors. It is used to treat a condition called methemoglobinemia. Methylene blue converts methemoglobin into a more efficient type of haemoglobin to better carry oxygen throughout the body.

It is recommended not to use it if you are allergic to methylene blue or other ingredients. Methylene blue should not be used to treat methemoglobinemia in people with glucose-6-phosphate deficiencies (G-6-PD). When methylene blue was delivered intravenously to patients who were concurrently taking other medications having serotonin reuptake inhibitor characteristics, serotonin toxicity/serotonin syndrome was reported. If drugs with serotonin reuptake inhibition capabilities are being used, they must be stopped before using methylene blue injectables to allow for a washout time of at least 4 - 5 half-lives. So, before taking the Blue Beam 10 mg Injection, let your doctor know about all your medical conditions, sensitivities, and all medications you are using.

Vasodilatory shock: Vasodilatory shock, also known as Distributive shock. It is a medical emergency in which your body cannot get enough blood to your heart, brain, and kidneys. This occurs when your blood vessels are highly dilated (flaccid or relaxed), lowering your blood pressure and reducing the amount of blood that can reach your organs.
