About Efipres Injection

Efipres Injection belongs to a class of medications called 'antihypotensives' primarily used for low blood pressure emergencies during spinal or epidural anesthesia. 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.

Efipres Injection contains 'Ephedrine', which works by reducing the constricting and swelling of blood vessels by widening the lung airways and allowing more oxygen to reach the lungs so that a person can breathe easily.

Efipres Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. In some cases, you may experience headaches, anxiety, dizziness, nausea, anxiety, tremors, restlessness, and stomach irritation.  Most of these side effects of Efipres Injection do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.

Efipres Injection should be used with caution in elderly people as these personas are at high risk of getting side effects of Efipres Injection.

Medicinal Benefits

Efipres Injection is used for a short time to relieve chest tightness, wheezing and shortness of breath in patients with bronchial asthma.

During asthma, airways become inflamed and swollen, so Efipres Injection reduces the swelling and relaxes the muscles so that air can pass easily, allowing a person to breathe normally.

Directions for Use

Efipres Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer.
