Norad Injection 5 x 2 ml

Norad Injection belongs to a class of medications called antihypotensives primarily used to treat hypotensive (low blood pressure) emergencies. Hypotension is a condition in which the blood flows through the blood vessels at lower than normal pressures. Low blood pressure symptoms include tiredness, dizziness, light-headedness, loss of consciousness, nausea, depression, blurry vision, or clammy (wet or sweaty) skin.

Norad Injection contains Norepinephrine that works by constricting and narrowing blood vessels by acting on alpha receptors that cause muscle contractions. Thus, it increases heart rate and blood pressure.

You are advised to take Norad Injection for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience headaches, anxiety, tremor, difficulty in breathing, vomiting, high blood pressure, or urinary retention. Most of these side effects of Norad Injection do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Norad Injection or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Please consult a doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before taking Norad Injection . Norad Injection is not recommended for children. If you have irregular heartbeats, hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid gland), diabetes, angina pectoris (chest pain), vascular blockage in limbs or stomach, any heart problems, or if you recently had a heart attack, inform your doctor before taking Norad Injection . If it is essential to administer Norad Injection simultaneously as plasma or blood transfusion, plasma or blood may be administered in a separate drip.

Norad Injection contains Norepinephrine used in the treatment of hypotensive (low blood pressure) emergencies. Norad Injection constricts and narrows blood vessels by acting on alpha receptors that cause muscle contractions. Thus, Norad Injection redirects blood to heart and brain by narrowing blood vessels in the extremities, which increases heart rate and blood pressure. Norad Injection is used to restore blood pressure to normal in emergencies that require an immediate rise in blood pressure to a normal level.

• Eat small meals more frequently.
• Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated as dehydration may reduce blood volume resulting in low blood pressure.
• Include vitamin B12-rich foods such as animal meats, eggs, fortified cereals, and nutritional yeast.
• Eat foods rich in folates such as beans, asparagus, lentils, leafy greens, citrus fruits, liver, and eggs.
• Try to eat smoked fish, canned soup, pickled items, cottage cheese, and olives as salty foods can also increase blood pressure.
• Take frequent breaks if you exercise outdoors in extreme heat.
• Avoid spending a long time in hot tubs, steam rooms, and saunas to prevent dehydration.
