Norad 2 MG Injection 2 ML

• Pheochromocytomectomy: It is a tumour of the adrenal gland that can cause excessive release of catecholamines (hormones made by adrenal glands), including Norepinephrine. During the removal of adrenal gland tumour, Norad 2 MG injection can manage intraoperative and postoperative hypotension that can occur due to sudden withdrawal of catecholamines after tumour removal.
• Sympathectomy: It is a surgical procedure that involves the removal or interruption of parts of the sympathetic nervous system. Norad 2 MG injection is used during sympathectomy to support blood pressure and counteract the potential hypotensive effects of the procedure.
• Spinal anaesthesia: Norad 2 MG injection may be used in conjunction with spinal anaesthesia to counteract the potential hypotensive side effect of the anaesthesia. By increasing systemic vascular resistance, Norepinephrine helps maintain blood pressure during the procedure.
• Myocardial infarction: During myocardial infarction or heart attack, Norad 2 MG injection may be used to improve blood pressure and cardiac output. It helps increase systemic vascular resistance, supporting blood flow to vital organs.
• Septicemia (septic shock): It refers to a severe infection in the bloodstream, leading to widespread inflammation and organ dysfunction. Norad 2 MG injection is commonly used in the treatment of septicemia or septic shock to address severe infection and its associated complications.
• Blood transfusion: Norad 2 MG injection can also be used during or after blood transfusion to support blood pressure if hypotension occurs. 
• Drug reactions: This injection may also be used to manage hypotension or shock that can occur as a severe reaction to certain medications.

• Norad 2 MG injection should be administered by a healthcare provider. It is not recommended to be self-administered. 
• The timing of Norad administration in relation to food intake will depend on the specific medical condition being treated.
• If you have any concerns or questions about the timing or dosage of this injection, please consult your healthcare provider.

Route of administration

• The dosage of Norad 2 MG injection can be administered intravenously after dilution as prescribed by a doctor.

Dosage information

Daily dose

The recommended daily dose of Norad 2 MG injection is one injection taken once a day, with or without food. The dosage may change based on individual factors such as the severity of the condition and response to treatment. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and do not exceed it without consulting your doctor.

Overdose

If you or someone else takes an excessive amount of Norad 2 MG injection by accident, it is essential to take immediate medical attention from your doctor or nearby hospital. Symptoms of an overdose include headache, severe hypertension, slow heart rate, and decreased cardiac output.

Missed dose 

You may take the missed dose of Norad 2 MG injection as soon as you remember, but if it's almost time for the next dose, skip it and continue with your regular dosing schedule; do not double the dose to make up for the missed one.

• Norepinephrine, the active ingredient in Norad 2 MG injection, is a medication with multiple pharmacological activities. It primarily acts as a potent vasoconstrictor, meaning it causes the constriction of blood vessels throughout the body. This vasoconstrictive effect leads to an increase in systemic vascular resistance and blood pressure.
• By constricting blood vessels, Norepinephrine helps to restore and maintain blood pressure in cases of severe hypotension or shock. It works by binding to alpha-adrenergic receptors on the smooth muscle lining the blood vessels, triggering their constriction.
• Norepinephrine raises blood pressure and enhances blood circulation to vital organs, including the brain, heart, and kidneys, thereby preventing organ damage due to inadequate perfusion. Additionally, Norepinephrine stimulates beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart and dilates coronary arteries to increase heart rate and cardiac output.
