EPINOR INJECTION 8MG 1X10'S
Requires Prescription (YES/NO)
Yes
Generics
Noradrenaline Bitartarate
Used For
Hypotension
How it works
Norepinephrine functions as a powerful peripheral vasoconstrictor (alpha-adrenergic action) and as a potent inotropic stimulator of the heart and dilator of coronary arteries (beta-adrenergic action). Both of these actions result in an increase in systemic blood pressure and coronary artery blood flow. Cardiac output will vary reflexibly in response to systemic hypertension but is usually increased in the hypotensive person when the blood pressure is raised to an optimal level. In myocardial infarction accompanied by hypotension, norepinephrine usually increases aortic blood pressure, coronary artery blood flow, and myocardial oxygenation, thereby helping to limit the area of myocardial ischemia and infarction. Venous return is increased and the heart tends to resume a more normal rate and rhythm than in the hypotensive state.
