About Dexmedine Injection

Dexmedine Injection belongs to the group of sedatives used to sedate patients in acute settings such as the ICU, during surgical procedures and in those who require a mechanical ventilator. Sedation is defined as a state of relaxation, drowsiness or sleep.

Dexmedine Injection contains Dexmedetomidine which works by inhibiting the release of an active neurotransmitter (nerve substance) called norepinephrine and subsequently blocks pain signals. Hence Dexmedine Injection brings on a sense of relaxation and numbness through massive pain relief. 

Dexmedine Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional. Do not self-administer. Dexmedine Injection may cause certain common side effects such as a slow heart rate, a change in blood pressure and an alteration in breathing pattern. You are advised to talk to your doctor if these side effects persist.
