About Xamdex Injection 2 ml

Xamdex Injection 2 ml contains Dexmedetomidine which works by inhibiting the release of an active neurotransmitter (nerve substance) called norepinephrine and subsequently blocks pain signals. Hence Xamdex Injection 2 ml brings on a sense of relaxation and numbness through massive pain relief.
