About Flures 20% w/v Injection 3 ml

Flures 20% w/v Injection 3 ml belongs to a class of medications known as diagnostic tools for particular eye tests such as Fluorescein angiography. Fluorescein angiography is a test that allows the blood vessels in the back of the eye to be photographed as a fluorescent dye is injected into the bloodstream.

Flures 20% w/v Injection 3 ml contains the active ingredient fluorescein sodium, which works as a diagnostic stain. This will assist your doctor in the diagnosis of diseases that affect these blood vessels, especially in older people and diabetics.

It should be given by an experienced ophthalmologist in a clinic setup. In some cases, it may cause side effects like pain at the injection site, nausea, vomiting, redness and itching of the skin, discolouration (yellowing) of the skin and eyes, discolouration (yellowing) of the urine and abdominal discomfort. However, if these side effects persist or worsen your child's condition, inform your doctor immediately.

Before using the Flures 20% w/v Injection 3 ml, please inform your doctor of your medical conditions, sensitivities, and all drugs you take. Other medications or supplements should not be combined with Flures 20% w/v Injection 3 ml unless prescribed by a doctor. Before using Flures 20% w/v Injection 3 ml, tell your doctor if you are pregnant or suspect you may be pregnant. Your doctor will determine whether or not to give you this medicine. Avoid breastfeeding for two days after receiving fluorescein sodium since it is excreted in breast milk. The angiography technique dilates the pupil. Patients must refrain from driving or using machinery until their eyesight is normal. Flures 20% w/v Injection 3 ml should not be used in people under the age of 18.
