Eldetec Injection 10 ml

Your doctor may recommend this injection to help manage the following conditions:

• Induction of general anaesthesia (RSI-rapid sequence intubation): It quickly puts you into a deep, temporary sleep before major surgery or before a breathing tube is inserted.
• Sedation for short medical procedures: It helps by relaxing your body and lowering your awareness during brief medical tests or minor operations.

When used during a medical procedure, this medicine may provide the following benefits:

• Rapid onset of action: It works within seconds to help you fall asleep quickly, allowing anaesthesia or medical procedures to begin promptly and reducing discomfort before the procedure.
• Supports stable heart and blood vessel function: Compared with many other anaesthetic medicines, it has minimal effects on blood pressure and heart function, making it a preferred option for people with low blood pressure or serious heart or circulation problems. Its short duration of action also helps patients wake up soon after the procedure is completed.

• Eldetec Injection 10 ml will be administered by a healthcare professional.
• Do not self-administer it.

• Fasting before surgery: Strictly follow the nothing by mouth instructions provided by your doctor. This usually means no food or liquids for at least 6 to 8 hours before your procedure to prevent stomach contents from entering your lungs.
• Post-procedure recovery rest: Plan to rest for the remainder of the day after receiving it. Avoid any strenuous physical activity or tasks that require mental alertness.
• Avoid alcohol: Do not drink alcohol for at least 24 hours after your procedure, as it can combine with the lingering effects of the anaesthetic and cause severe drowsiness or breathing issues.
• Eat light meals first: When you are cleared to eat after your procedure, start with simple, bland foods like toast, broth, or crackers to minimise the risk of nausea.

• Verify the solution: The medical professional must visually inspect the vial before use; the solution should be clear, colourless, and free of visible particles.
• Injection site: You may feel mild pain or discomfort where the medicine is injected. Your healthcare team may take steps to reduce this if needed.
• Monitor vital signs: Continuous monitoring of your breathing, oxygen levels, and blood pressure is mandatory during and immediately after the injection.
• Avoid driving: Do not drive, operate machinery, or make important legal decisions for at least 24 hours after receiving this medicine.
• Disclose your medical history: Always tell your medical team if you have a history of adrenal insufficiency, as this medicine can temporarily lower your body's natural steroid production.
• List all medications: Inform your doctor of all herbal supplements, over-the-counter drugs, and prescription medicines you take regularly before the injection is given.
• Contraindications: Do not receive this medicine if you are allergic to Eldetec Injection 10 ml or any of its ingredients. Tell your doctor before treatment if you have adrenal insufficiency, porphyria, a history of seizures, or any other serious medical condition.
