Introduction to Asdraline 1mg Injection
Asdraline 1mg Injection contains the active substance adrenaline bitartrate, which belongs to a class of medicines called sympathomimetic agents. It is used to rapidly relieve severe allergic reactions to drugs or other substances causing allergies. It is a primary drug administered during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to reverse cardiac arrest. Additionally, it is employed in emergency shock treatment resulting from a severe allergic reaction. Furthermore, it plays an essential role in assisting surgeons by inducing and maintaining mydriasis (enlarging the pupil) during eye surgery.
This injection should be avoided under certain circumstances and in specific medical conditions. Inform your healthcare provider if you have a known allergy to adrenaline or its components in the injection. Additionally, it is not recommended during pregnancy, in cases of severe heart disease, and when suffering from brain infections, diseases, or tumors. Tell your doctor if you have atherosclerosis, a condition characterized by the narrowing and hardening of blood vessels. Engaging in transparent communication with your doctor regarding your medical history and medications is crucial to ensure the safe and proper use of adrenaline injections.
