Dexmedine Injection is a sedative that is used for the purpose of sedation in acute settings such as the intensive care unit (ICU). Dexmedine Injection finds application in aiding anaesthesia before surgical procedures and is also used to relax patients on mechanical ventilation. Dexmedine Injection contains Dexmedetomidine. Dexmedine Injection blocks pain signals, so the brain doesn't perceive pain or sensation and hence, brings on a sense of numbness and anaesthesia.
