Drug introduction

METARAMINOL is a medicine used to treat severe low blood pressure. It belongs to a class of drugs called alpha-adrenoceptor agonists, which constrict blood vessels and raise blood pressure. METARAMINOL is usually given as an intravenous injection and works quickly and has long-lasting effects. When using METARAMINOL, your doctor will adjust the dosage based on the patient's specific condition and needs.

METARAMINOL may cause some side effects, including heart palpitations, headache, nausea, and sweating. Patients should pay close attention to their body's reactions while using this medication and promptly inform their doctor of any symptoms of discomfort.

In Hong Kong, METARAMINOL is usually used by medical professionals in hospital or emergency settings. Do not use METARAMINOL on your own and always follow your doctor's advice and prescription instructions.

Dosage

Instructions for use: Metaraminol is an injection and should be injected intravenously or intramuscularly by medical staff. The usual dosage is 1 mg to 5 mg each time, depending on the patient's condition. The patient's blood pressure and heart rate should be closely monitored during use, and the dose should be adjusted if necessary.

Dosing Guidelines: Starting dose for adults is 1 mg to 5 mg per dose, repeated every 5 to 15 minutes as needed until desired blood pressure is achieved. The maximum single dose does not exceed 10 mg and the maximum daily dose does not exceed 40 mg. The dosage for children needs to be determined based on weight and age. The usual starting dose is 0.1 mg to 0.3 mg per kilogram of body weight, not exceeding 5 mg each time. The maximum daily dose depends on age.
