Introduction About VASOCON INJECTION
VASOCON INJECTION contains Adrenaline which belongs to the group of medicines called Sympathomimetics. It is used during emergency situations to manage severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), cardiac arrest (loss of heart functions) and anaphylactic shock (sudden drop in blood flow due to an allergic reaction).
Anaphylaxis can be defined as a severe, potential life-threatening medical condition characterized by severe decrease in blood pressure, heart function, skin rash, nausea, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat causing difficulty in breathing or swallowing. It is caused when an individual accidentally gets exposed towards certain chemicals (such as insect stings or bites, foods, drugs, sera, diagnostic testing substances and other allergens) that can trigger an allergic reaction in him.
VASOCON INJECTION can also be used to increase blood pressure in patients suffering from low blood pressure caused due to septic shock. It also helps in inducing mydriasis (dilation of the pupils) prior to an eye surgery after diluting the medicine properly using an ophthalmic irrigating solution.

VASOCON INJECTION is a powerful cardiac stimulant. It works by binding to the alpha and beta receptors of the adrenergic system.

It is also a powerful bronchodilator which relaxes the smooth muscle of the airway tract. This helps in reducing breathing difficulties caused due to anaphylactic reactions.
