Consult your doctor first:

Even if the salt is the same, your doctor can confirm if the substitute is right for your condition, dosage, and health history.

Watch out for allergies or reactions:

Some people may react differently to certain brands due to inactive ingredients. If you notice any side effects, inform your doctor immediately.

Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Uses

Efipres Injection is used in the treatment of hypotension (low blood pressure). The detailed uses of Efipres Injection are as follows:

  • Treats Hypertension During Anaesthesia: Efipres Injection is used to prevent or treat low blood pressure that may occur during spinal or epidural anaesthesia, especially during obstetric procedures (such as cesarean delivery).
  • Manages Acute Hypotension or Shock: Efipres Injection is used in emergencies to quickly raise blood pressure in patients experiencing hypotensive shock (a sudden and dangerous drop in blood flow).
  • Adjunct in Cardiac Arrest: Efipres Injection may be used as a supportive therapy during resuscitation, particularly when standard inotropic medications (drugs that alter the force of heart contractions) are not effective.

Medicinal Benefits

Efipres Injection belongs to a class of medications called 'antihypotensives', used to relieve low blood pressure during spinal or epidural anaesthesia. Efipres Injection contains 'Ephedrine', which works by raising blood pressure by temporarily reducing the blood supply to small blood vessels.
