Adrenaline+sodium Metabisulphite
About Adrenaline+sodium Metabisulphite
Adrenaline+sodium Metabisulphite is used for irrigation during intraoperative mydriasis (pupil dilation during surgery). Doctors induce mydriasis during eye exams or surgeries to get a clearer view of the retina and internal eye structures. This enables accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. By allowing better access to the eye's internal structures, mydriasis facilitates thorough eye care.
Adrenaline+sodium Metabisulphite is a combination of two drugs, namely: Adrenaline and sodium metabisulphite. Adrenaline stimulates the radial muscles of the iris, causing pupil dilation. Sodium metabisulphite is a preservative that helps maintain the stability of the adrenaline solution. Thereby, Adrenaline+sodium Metabisulphite enables effective irrigation, maintaining clear visibility during eye surgery.
Adrenaline+sodium Metabisulphite will be administered by the doctor. Some people may experience side effects such as nausea, vomiting, increased heart rate and high blood pressure. Most of these side effects gradually resolve over time and do not require medical attention. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to Adrenaline+sodium Metabisulphite or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before administering Adrenaline+sodium Metabisulphite. Inform your doctor if you have any other pre-existing medical conditions or if you are using any other medications to rule out potential interactions.
