Adren Injection 1ml
Adren Injection 1ml belongs to a class of medicines called 'sympathomimetic', primarily used for the treatment of cardiac arrest, hypotension due to septic shock and life-threatening allergic reactions. Cardiac arrest is a sudden loss of blood flow resulting from the failure of the heart to pump effectively. Severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis due to foods, drugs, insect stings, bites, or other allergens. It may cause symptoms like breathing difficulty, facial swelling, dizziness, confusion and hives.
Adren Injection 1ml contains 'adrenaline', also called epinephrine. Adren Injection 1ml is used to increase blood flow to the heart and increase the chance of restoring a heartbeat in cardiac arrest. Adren Injection 1ml increases mean arterial blood pressure in adult patients with hypotension associated with septic shock. It is also used to increase blood flow through veins by constricting blood vessels and helps to relax the muscles, which block the airways and allow breathing to return to normal in allergic reactions due to foods, drugs, insect stings or bites or any other allergens.
Adren Injection 1ml is usually administered in the clinical/hospital setting under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional. Adren Injection 1ml may cause common side effects like increased heart rate, difficulty breathing, blurred vision, headache, dizziness, mood or mental changes, and an increase in blood pressure.

Cardiac arrest: Cardiac arrest is the abrupt loss of heart function, breathing and consciousness. The condition usually results from a problem with your heart's electrical system, which disrupts your heart's pumping action and stops blood flow to your body. Symptoms include sudden collapse, pulselessness, no breathing, and loss of consciousness.
Hypotension associated with septic shock: Dilated blood vessels may significantly decrease blood flow to certain organs or may result in a significant drop in blood pressure, leading to a state known as septic shock.
Life-threatening allergic reactions: Severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis due to foods, drugs, insect stings or bites or any other allergens. Symptoms include pain, redness, swelling (in the area of sting and sometimes beyond), flushing, hives, itching, and a potentially life-threatening reaction that may impair breathing and cause the body to go into shock.
