Dexmedine Injection 0.5ml

Dexmedine Injection belongs to the group of sedatives used to sedate patients in acute settings such as the ICU, during surgical procedures and in those who require a mechanical ventilator. Sedation is defined as a state of relaxation, drowsiness or sleep.

Dexmedine Injection contains Dexmedetomidine which works by inhibiting the release of an active neurotransmitter (nerve substance) called norepinephrine and subsequently blocks pain signals. Hence Dexmedine Injection brings on a sense of relaxation and numbness through massive pain relief.
