FAQs
What is Adrena 2mg Injection used for?
Adrena 2mg Injection is mainly used to treat sudden low blood pressure (hypotension) that can occur during anesthesia in surgeries. It works by stimulating certain receptors in the body to increase blood pressure and improve circulation.
Can Adrena 2mg Injection cause high blood pressure?
Yes, Adrena 2mg Injection can sometimes raise blood pressure too much, especially if it is given repeatedly or in higher doses. Doctors carefully monitor your blood pressure during treatment to avoid dangerous spikes in hypertension.
Is Adrena 2mg Injection safe for elderly patients?
Older adults may be more sensitive to Adrena 2mg Injection because of age-related changes in heart, kidney, or liver function. Doctors usually start with lower doses and monitor them closely to prevent complications like irregular heartbeat or excessive blood pressure rise.

Serious side effects of Adrena 2mg Injection may include fast or irregular heartbeat, chest pain, dizziness, severe headache, or sudden rise in blood pressure. If these occur, immediate medical attention is required.
