NORAFENS INJ

Noradrenaline Bitartrate 2mg Injection– The injection is composed of Noradrenaline, which is widely prescribed to treat hypotension (low blood pressure) and related-conditions which emerges from low blood pressure. It is a synthetic form of norepinephrine, a naturally occurring catecholamine that plays a vital role in regulating blood pressure. This injection is administered intravenously under strict medical supervision.

The medication works by stimulating specific adrenergic receptors in blood vessels, leading to vasoconstriction, which results in rising blood pressure. It is commonly used in conditions such as septic shock, cardiogenic shock, and severe hypotension where blood pressure rise and stabilization are important. Due to its fast onset of action and reliable response, Noradrenaline Injection is considered a first-line agent in emergency cardiovascular management. Medfence Labs manufactures Noradrenaline Injections under the brand name NORAFENS INJ. 

Working Mechanism of Noradrenaline Bitartrate Injection

The working mechanism of Noradrenaline Bitartrate Injection has been mentioned as follows:

Noradrenaline works by primarily stimulating the alpha-1 adrenergic receptors, causing constriction of blood vessels. This increases vascular resistance, leading to an increase in blood pressure. It also has mild beta-1 adrenergic activity, which helps improve cardiac contractility without significantly increasing heart rate.

Medical Benefits of Noradrenaline Bitartrate 2 mg Injection

The injection is beneficial for managing low blood pressure and various other health conditions. A list of medical benefits of using Noradrenaline Bitartrate 2 mg Injection has been discussed as follows:

Management of Acute Hypotension
Helps rapidly restore dangerously low blood pressure in emergency conditions.

Treatment of Septic Shock
Improves blood flow to vital organs by maintaining adequate perfusion pressure.

Cardiogenic Shock Support
Enhances vascular tone while supporting cardiac output.

ICU and Critical Care Use
Widely used in intensive care for continuous blood pressure monitoring and control.

Side Effects of Noradrenaline Bitartrate Injection

Most of the side effects disappear as the body adjusts to the dose. A List of them has been mentioned as follows. Consult your healthcare professional if they persist and cause discomfort.
