About Veraline 2mg Injection

NOREPINEPHRINE 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.

NOREPINEPHRINE contains Norepinephrine that works by constricting and narrowing blood vessels by acting on alpha receptors that causes muscle contractions. Thus, it increases heart rate and blood pressure.

Medicinal Benefits of Veraline 2mg Injection

NOREPINEPHRINE contains Norepinephrine used in the treatment of hypotensive (low blood pressure) emergencies. NOREPINEPHRINE constricts and narrows blood vessels by acting on alpha receptors that cause muscle contractions. Thus, NOREPINEPHRINE redirects blood to heart and brain by narrowing blood vessels in the extremities, which increases heart rate and blood pressure. NOREPINEPHRINE is used to restore blood pressure to normal in emergencies that require an immediate rise in blood pressure to a normal level.
