About Duvadilan Injection 2 ml
Duvadilan Injection 2 ml belongs to a class of medication called 'vasodilators' (blood vessel relaxing agents). It is used to treat and prevent peripheral vascular diseases such as Raynaud's phenomenon, cerebral vascular insufficiency (poor blood flow to the brain), arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), Buerger's disease (a condition that causes small and medium arteries and veins to constrict blood flow to the hands and feet) and other conditions involving poor blood flow in the blood vessels. It is also used for relaxing uterine muscles to prevent premature labour.
Duvadilan Injection 2 ml contains Isoxsuprine hydrochloride. It works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, thereby improving blood circulation. Thus, it helps treat peripheral vascular diseases. Duvadilan Injection 2 ml relaxes and prevents the contractions of smooth muscles of the uterus and prevents premature labour.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Premature labour: It is also known as preterm labour. It occurs due to contractions and relaxations of the uterus resulting in the cervix opening after week 20 and week 37 of pregnancy. It can lead to premature birth and other risks to the baby.
Cerebrovascular insufficiency: It occurs when there is obstruction of one or more blood vessels (arteries) that supply blood to the brain. This obstruction leads to strokes or transient ischemic attacks (TIAs or 'mini-strokes').
Raynaud's phenomenon: After exposure to extremely cold or hot temperatures, it develops from blocked nerves, resulting in discolouration of the fingers and/or toes. Skin discolouration indicates that the local tissues' blood supply has been disturbed.
Atherosclerosis: Atherosclerosis is a potentially fatal condition in which arteries get clogged with fatty substances known as plaques or atheroma. These plaques harden and constrict the arteries, limiting blood flow and oxygen supply to essential organs and raising the risk of blood clots that might stop blood flow to the heart or brain.
Buerger's disease: The inflammation of small and medium-sized blood vessels is a characteristic of Buerger's disease. It most frequently affects the arms and legs, where the swelling of blood vessels restricts blood flow and leads to the formation of clots, which cause discomfort, tissue damage, and the onset of gangrene (death of body tissues).
