About Efipres Injection
Efipres Injection belongs to a class of medications called 'antihypotensives', used to relieve low blood pressure during spinal or epidural anaesthesia. Hypotension is a condition in which the blood flows through the blood vessels at lower than normal pressures.
Efipres Injection contains 'Ephedrine', which works by raising blood pressure by temporarily reducing the blood supply to small blood vessels.
In some cases, you may experience confusion, nervousness, irritability, headache, nausea and vomiting. Most of these side effects of Efipres Injection do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to Efipres Injection or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Please consult a doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Keep the doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any side effects/interactions.
