View company portfolio →What Varax (Ephedrine) is used for
Ephedrine is a medicine from the sympathomimetic group, which acts on the automatic part of the nervous system that controls things like heart rate and blood pressure. It raises blood pressure, mainly by briefly narrowing small blood vessels. The injection is given slowly into a vein by an anaesthetist or another doctor, usually during an operation, and is not used at home.
- Treating low blood pressure that happens during anaesthesia
- Including low blood pressure caused by a spinal or epidural anaesthetic, for example during a caesarean section
Get medical help straight away if
- The team giving the injection watches your heart and blood pressure closely and treats problems straight away. Tell them at once if you feel any of the following.
- Chest pain, or a very fast, slow or uneven heartbeat.
- Difficulty breathing, or breathlessness from fluid on the lungs.
- A sudden very bad headache, weakness or confusion, which can be signs of bleeding in the brain or a stroke.
