Brand Name : Infanor
Generic Name : Sterile Noradrenaline Concentrate IP 2mg/ml
Pack Size : 2 ml Ampule
Dosage Form : Injection
Strength : 2mg/ml
Therapeutic indications :
Pharmacotherapeutic group : Adrenergic and dopaminergic agents
ATC code : C01CA03
Pharmacodynamic properties : The vascular effects in the doses normally used clinically result from the simultaneous stimulation of alpha and beta adrenergic receptors in the heart and vascular system. Except in the heart, its action is predominantly on the alpha receptors. This results in an increase in the force (and in the absence of vagal inhibition, in the rate) of myocardial contraction. Peripheral resistance increases and diastolic and systolic pressures are raised.
The increase in blood pressure may cause a reflex decrease in heart rate. Vasoconstriction may result in decreased blood flow in kidneys, liver, skin and smooth muscles. Local vasoconstriction may cause haemostasis and/or necrosis.
The effect on blood pressure disappears 1-2 minutes after stopping the infusion.
