Mephentermine Sulphate Injection IP

Mephentermine Sulphate Injection IP is used to treat low blood pressure and hypertension, and it is also recommended for the treatment of hypotensive conditions, such as drug-induced hypotension or circulatory failure during spinal anaesthesia. Blood pressure falling below the normal range is known as hypotension, and it can lead to hypovolemia (low blood volume) and decreased cardiac output. It may result in weakness, fainting, dizziness, and a higher chance of falling.
