About NORALIN 2MG INJECTION 2ML

NORALIN 2MG INJECTION 2ML 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.

NORALIN 2MG INJECTION 2ML 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 NORALIN 2MG INJECTION 2ML 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 NORALIN 2MG INJECTION 2ML do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.
