About Milrilact 10mg Injection

MILRINONE belongs to the group of medications called vasodilator 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 is unable to pump blood as effectively as it should. 

MILRINONE 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.

MILRINONE is given as an injection. It is administered by a healthcare professional. The common side-effects of MILRINONE are headache, easy bruising, 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 MILRINONE, please consult your doctor or pharmacist for further advice.

Do not take MILRINONE if you have recently had a heart attack. Try not to miss or stop MILRINONE on your own. Stopping MILRINONE may worsen your condition and increase your risk of cardiovascular death, heart attack, and stroke. Let your doctor know if you have heart rhythm disorder, low levels of potassium, kidney problems. MILRINONE 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 MILRINONE.
