TERMIN 15MG INJECTION 1ML

TERMIN 15MG INJECTION 1ML belongs to a category of medications called ‘Antihypotensives’ primarily used to treat hypotension (low blood pressure). Besides this, TERMIN 15MG INJECTION 1ML is also indicated to treat hypotensive states, such as circulatory failure during spinal anaesthesia or drug-induced hypotension. Hypotension is a condition when blood pressure drops below the normal range, which may reduce cardiac output and hypovolemia (low blood volume). It can cause dizziness, weakness, fainting, and a risk of injury from falls.

TERMIN 15MG INJECTION 1ML contains ‘Mephentermine’ is a class of medicines called sympathomimetic. It helps to release a chemical messenger (adrenaline), which compresses the blood vessels. It increases blood pressure rapidly by increasing the pumping capacity of the heart and narrowing the blood vessels of the heart.  Hence, it works to increase your blood pressure.

Drug-disease interactions: TERMIN 15MG INJECTION 1ML should be used with caution in patients with hypertension, heart disease, dehydration and acidosis (buildup acid in the blood).

• AMPHETAMINE
• DEXTROAMPHETAMINE
• GUAIFENESIN+BROMHEXINE
• PHENYLEPHRINE
• LEVOTHYROXINE SODIUM
• ISOCARBOXAZID
• PHENELZINE
• SELEGILINE

• Add foods with high vitamin B12, including eggs, fortified cereals, and nutritional yeast to your daily diet.
• Salty foods can increase blood pressure. Try eating canned soup, cottage cheese, olives, and pickled items.
• Drink coffee and caffeinated tea; it may spike blood pressure by stimulating the cardiovascular system.
• Eat small meals more frequently; large meals may drop in blood pressure as your body works harder to digest larger meals.
• Drink more water and limit alcohol; dehydration lowers blood pressure.
• Change body position standing up slowly.
• Avoid prolonged bed rest.

Hypotension: Low blood pressure is a condition when blood pressure drops below the normal range, which may reduce cardiac output and hypovolemia (low blood volume). It can cause dizziness, weakness, fainting, and a risk of injury from falls. Also, severely low blood pressure can deprive your body of enough oxygen to carry out its functions, leading to damage to your heart and brain. Systolic pressure is the pressure when the heart pumps blood out. On the other hand, diastolic pressure is when your heart is at the resting stage between heartbeats. Ideal blood pressure should be 120/80 mmHg. Hypotension exists when the systolic pressure is less than 90 mmHg, and the diastolic pressure is less than 60 mmHg.
