Norad Injection 2Ml

Norad Injection 2Ml is used to restore dangerously low blood pressure during medical emergencies.

Uses of Norad Injection 2Ml are:

• Acute hypotension: Restores blood pressure when it falls to dangerously low levels and threatens adequate circulation to vital organs.
• Septic shock: Helps maintain blood pressure in patients with severe infection-related circulatory failure, particularly when adequate fluid resuscitation alone is insufficient.

• This medicine should be prepared and administered only by a trained healthcare professional.
• The injection must be diluted according to the approved product instructions before administration.
• A controlled infusion pump is generally used to regulate administration.
• The medical team will continuously monitor blood pressure and heart function during treatment.
• Do not attempt to self-administer this medicine.

Norad Injection 2Ml is administered intravenously.

Norad Injection 2Ml contains noradrenaline bitartrate as its active ingredient.

• Noradrenaline (equivalent to 2 mg per 2 ml ampoule): It is a sympathomimetic agent that acts mainly on alpha-1 adrenergic receptors in blood vessels, causing them to narrow. This increases peripheral vascular resistance and raises blood pressure. It also stimulates beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart, increasing the force of heart contractions. A reflex slowing of the heartbeat may occur as blood pressure rises.

• Store Norad Injection below 30°C, according to the product packaging.
• Keep the ampoule protected from light.
• Do not use the injection if the solution is discoloured or contains visible particles.
• Do not use the medicine after its expiry date.
• Keep it out of the reach of children.

• Stay adequately hydrated to maintain blood volume and potentially improve blood pressure. Drink water and other healthy fluids throughout the day, but avoid excessive intake of caffeinated beverages as they may contribute to dehydration.
• In some cases of hypotension, increasing salt intake may be beneficial. If you have any pre-existing medical conditions, such as hypertension or kidney problems, it is advisable to consult with your doctor.
• Long periods of standing or sitting can contribute to a drop in blood pressure. If possible, try to take regular breaks, move around, or change positions frequently. Flexing your leg muscles or crossing your legs while sitting may help improve blood flow.
• Wear compression stockings. These can help improve blood flow and prevent blood pooling in the lower extremities. 
• Perform physical activity, as recommended by your doctor, to improve cardiovascular fitness and promote better blood pressure regulation.
