WGCC Norepinephrine Bitartrate in 0.9% Sodium Chloride IV Bags are used for managing acute hypotension, particularly in critical care settings. Norepinephrine is a vasopressor, meaning it constricts blood vessels, which increases blood pressure and improves perfusion to vital organs. It's commonly used in conditions such as:
- Septic Shock: To support blood pressure when fluid resuscitation alone is inadequate.
- Cardiogenic Shock: When other treatment options are insufficient.
- Post-cardiopulmonary Bypass Surgery: To maintain vascular tone and blood pressure.
It is administered intravenously and requires careful monitoring due to its potent effects on cardiovascular parameters.
WGCC Norepinephrine Bitartrate in 0.9% Sodium Chloride IV Bags is a critical care medication designed to rapidly restore and maintain blood pressure in acute hypotensive states. Each bag contains 16 mg of Norepinephrine Bitartrate in a 250 mL formulation, providing healthcare professionals with a reliable solution for life-threatening situations. Perfect for emergency and intensive care units, this product ensures efficacy and safety in high-stakes environments.
