About Milrineon Injection

Milrineon Injection belongs to the group of medications called vasodilators used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and short-term treatment of severe congestive heart failure. Hypertension is a chronic medical condition in which there is a high pressure of blood against the arteries walls (blood vessels). It is considered an essential risk factor for cardiovascular (heart) diseases. Heart failure is a chronic condition in which the heart cannot pump blood as effectively as it should. 

Milrineon Injection is a vasodilator that helps widen and relax the constricted blood vessels (due to high blood pressure) to promote blood flow, thereby reducing the high blood pressure.

Milrineon Injection is given as an injection. It is administered by a healthcare professional. The common side-effects of Milrineon Injection are headache, easy bruising, and tremors (uncontrollable rhythmic movement). These side effects usually do not require medical attention and gradually resolve during the treatment. If you experience any other symptoms you think may be due to Milrineon Injection, please consult your doctor or pharmacist for further advice.

Do not take Milrineon Injection if you have recently had a heart attack. Try not to miss or stop the Milrineon Injection on your own. Stopping Milrineon Injection may worsen your condition and increase your risk of cardiovascular death, heart attack, and stroke. Let your doctor know if you have a heart rhythm disorder, low levels of potassium, or kidney problems. Milrineon Injection should be taken cautiously in pregnant or breastfeeding women. Your doctor will monitor heart rate, blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolytes during the treatment with Milrineon Injection.

Uses of Milrineon Injection

Hypertension, heart failure

Directions for Use

Medicinal Benefits

Milrineon Injection is a vasodilator that treats hypertension (high blood pressure) and short-term treatment of life-threatening heart failure. Milrineon Injection contains milrinone, a vasodilator in nature that works by relaxing the blood vessels and decreasing the heart's demand for oxygen. As a result, it reduces heart workload.

  • Monitor your platelet count regularly through blood tests to track any changes. This will help the doctor determine the effectiveness of the treatment plan.
  • If an underlying condition, such as infection or inflammation, contributes to the low platelet count, your doctor will treat it.
  • In some cases, alternative treatments like platelet transfusions or medications that stimulate platelet production may be necessary.

Heart failure: Heart failure is a chronic condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood as effectively as it should. Heart failure may occur due to certain conditions like high blood pressure, swelling or damage of heart muscle, faulty heart valves, or narrow arteries in the heart. Symptoms of heart failure include shortness of breath, tiredness, a fast heartbeat, and swollen legs.

Hypertension (high blood pressure): It is a medical condition in which blood pressure is elevated persistently in the arteries. It is considered an essential risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and can be caused due to obesity, diabetes, smoking, high salt intake, stress, lack of physical activity, or ageing. Normal blood pressure lies between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mm of Hg. It is considered high blood pressure if the blood pressure is 140/90 mm of Hg or greater.
