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.
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.
When using Metaraminol, attention should be paid to the patient's reaction to the drug and excessive use should be avoided. If you feel any discomfort or unclearness during use, please consult a medical professional immediately.
Metaraminol is a drug used to increase blood pressure and increase cardiac contractility, but it may cause some side effects. Some common side effects include dizziness, rapid heartbeat, palpitations, and increased blood pressure. Some patients may also experience chest pain, depression and nausea. If you experience serious side effects, such as difficulty breathing, severe heart palpitations, or changes in consciousness, you should seek medical advice immediately. Remember to use the medicine according to the doctor's instructions and do not increase or decrease the dosage on your own to avoid more serious side effects.
METARAMINOL is a drug used to treat shock, but it is contraindicated in some cases. Before using METARAMINOL, patients should tell their doctor if they are allergic to METARAMINOL, have heart disease, high blood pressure, thyroid problems, diabetes, or pregnancy. Conditions that contraindicate the use of METARAMINOL include hypersensitivity to METARAMINOL, heart valve disease, hyperthyroidism, severe hypertension, severe cardiac arrhythmias, severe coronary heart disease, or severe arteriosclerosis. During METARAMINOL therapy, simultaneous use with epinephrine or norepinephrine should be avoided because of the possibility of increased cardiac load. In addition, METARAMINOL should not be used concurrently with phentolamine as it may cause an increase in blood pressure. When using METARAMINOL, you should strictly follow your doctor's instructions and do not adjust the dosage or stop using it on your own. If any adverse reactions occur, seek medical attention immediately. In short, METARAMINOL has its contraindications for use, and patients should provide a detailed medical history to their doctor before use to ensure safe and effective treatment.
