About Sedeto 100mcg Injection

Sedeto 100mcg 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.

Sedeto 100mcg Injection contains Dexmedetomidine which works by inhibiting the release of an active neurotransmitter (nerve substance) called norepinephrine and subsequently blocks pain signals. Hence Sedeto 100mcg Injection brings on a sense of relaxation and numbness through massive pain relief. 

Sedeto 100mcg Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional. Do not self-administer. Sedeto 100mcg 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. 

It is advisable to inform the doctor if you are allergic to any of the components of Sedeto 100mcg Injection.

Managing Low Blood Pressure Triggered by Medication: Expert Advice:
  • If you experience low blood pressure symptoms like dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting while taking medication, seek immediate medical attention.
  • Make lifestyle modifications and adjust your medication regimen under medical guidance to manage low blood pressure.
  • As your doctor advises, regularly check your blood pressure at home. Record your readings to detect any changes and share them with your doctor.

  • Take regular breaks to sit or lie down if you need to stand for long periods.
  • When lying down, elevate your head with extra pillows to help improve blood flow.
  • Avoid heavy exercise or strenuous activities that can worsen low blood pressure.

  • Follow your doctor's advice on monitoring your heart rate and blood pressure. This will help track any changes and ensure your heart rate returns normal.
