About Themidrine 30 mg Injection 1 ml

Themidrine 30 mg Injection 1 ml belongs to a class of medications called 'antihypotensives' primarily used for low blood pressure emergencies during spinal or epidural anesthesia. 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.

Themidrine 30 mg Injection 1 ml contains 'Ephedrine', which works by reducing the constricting and swelling of blood vessels by widening the lung airways and allowing more oxygen to reach the lungs so that a person can breathe easily.

Medicinal Benefits

Themidrine 30 mg Injection 1 ml is used for a short time to relieve chest tightness, wheezing and shortness of breath in patients with bronchial asthma. This medicine is a decongestant (provides relief in the blocked nose) and bronchodilator (opens up the airways). During asthma, airways become inflamed and swollen, so Themidrine 30 mg Injection 1 ml reduces the swelling and relaxes the muscles so that air can pass easily, allowing a person to breathe normally.

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.
