Besides this, it is also indicated to treat hypotensive states, such as circulatory failure during spinal anaesthesia or drug-induced hypotension. It contains Mephentermine, which helps to release a chemical messenger (adrenaline), that compresses the blood vessels. It increases blood pressure rapidly by increasing the heart's pumping capacity and narrowing the heart's blood vessels. Some people may experience side effects such as systemic hypertension (high blood pressure), anxiety, insomnia (difficulty in sleeping), and CNS stimulation. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.
