Aficard 2mg Injection belongs to a class of medications called antihypotensives primarily used to treat hypotensive (low blood pressure) emergencies. 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.

Aficard 2mg Injection contains Norepinephrine that works by constricting and narrowing blood vessels by acting on alpha receptors that cause muscle contractions. Thus, it increases heart rate and blood pressure.

You are advised to take Aficard 2mg Injection for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience headaches, anxiety, tremor, difficulty in breathing, vomiting, high blood pressure, or urinary retention. Most of these side effects of Aficard 2mg Injection do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.

Aficard 2mg Injection contains Norepinephrine used in the treatment of hypotensive (low blood pressure) emergencies. Aficard 2mg Injection constricts and narrows blood vessels by acting on alpha receptors that cause muscle contractions. Thus, Aficard 2mg Injection redirects blood to heart and brain by narrowing blood vessels in the extremities, which increases heart rate and blood pressure. Aficard 2mg Injection is used to restore blood pressure to normal in emergencies that require an immediate rise in blood pressure to a normal level.

If you are allergic to Aficard 2mg Injection or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Please consult a doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before taking Aficard 2mg Injection. Aficard 2mg Injection is not recommended for children.
