About Norad 4 Injection 4 ml

Norad 4 Injection 4 ml belongs to a class of medications called antihypotensives primarily used to treat hypotensive (low blood pressure) emergencies. Hypotension is a condition in which the blood flows through the blood vessels at lower than normal pressures. Low blood pressure symptoms include tiredness, dizziness, light-headedness, loss of consciousness, nausea, depression, blurry vision, or clammy (wet or sweaty) skin.

Norad 4 Injection 4 ml contains Norepinephrine that works by constricting and narrowing blood vessels by acting on alpha receptors that cause muscle contractions. Thus, it increases heart rate and blood pressure.

You are advised to take Norad 4 Injection 4 ml for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience headaches, anxiety, tremor, difficulty in breathing, vomiting, high blood pressure, or urinary retention. Most of these side effects of Norad 4 Injection 4 ml do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Norad 4 Injection 4 ml or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Please consult a doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before taking Norad 4 Injection 4 ml. Norad 4 Injection 4 ml is not recommended for children. If you have irregular heartbeats, hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid gland), diabetes, angina pectoris (chest pain), vascular blockage in limbs or stomach, any heart problems, or if you recently had a heart attack, inform your doctor before taking Norad 4 Injection 4 ml. If it is essential to administer Norad 4 Injection 4 ml simultaneously as plasma or blood transfusion, plasma or blood may be administered in a separate drip.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Blood pressure is the measurement of the heart's force to pump blood to all parts of the body. Hypotension is a condition in which the blood flows through the blood vessels at lower than normal pressures. Low blood pressure symptoms include dizziness, tiredness, lightheadedness, loss of consciousness, nausea, depression, blurry vision, or clammy (wet or sweaty) skin. Blood pressure can be measured with the help of a blood pressure monitor or sphygmomanometer. Systolic pressure is the pressure when the heart pumps blood out. On the other hand, diastolic pressure is the pressure when your heart is at the resting stage between heartbeats. If your blood pressure is 90/60 mm of Hg, it means the systolic pressure is 90 mm of Hg and, diastolic pressure is 60 mm of Hg. Normal blood pressure lies in between 90/60 mm of Hg and 120/80 mm of Hg. If the blood pressure is 90/60 mmHg or lower, it is considered low blood pressure.
