Duvadilan IM/IV 5mg Injection (2ml Each) Injection

Duvadilan IM/IV 5mg Injection (2ml Each) is a medication that acts as a vasodilator and uterine relaxant. It is commonly used to manage premature labor, where the uterus begins contracting too early, and to treat peripheral vascular diseases.

This injection is administered under medical supervision, and the dosage depends on the condition being treated. Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate dose and duration based on your symptoms and response to the treatment. It is important to follow the prescribed course as directed.

The most frequent side effect is dizziness. Other possible reactions include nausea, vomiting, flushing, skin rashes, and lowered blood pressure. If you experience any severe or persistent symptoms, inform your doctor promptly. To reduce dizziness, rise slowly from sitting or lying down and avoid driving or activities that require full concentration until you know how the medication affects you.

Before starting this treatment, inform your doctor about any history of heart issues or bleeding disorders. Also, provide a full list of other medications you are taking, as some drugs may interfere with Duvadilan’s effectiveness or increase side effects. Avoid strenuous or stressful activities during treatment to help prevent premature labor.

Uses

• Managing premature labor

• Treating peripheral vascular disease

Benefits

Peripheral vascular disease involves poor blood circulation in vessels. This injection helps widen the blood vessels, improving circulation throughout the body and reducing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and blood clots such as deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. For best results, combine treatment with a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise.

Side Effects

Most side effects are mild and improve as your body adjusts. Seek medical advice if they persist or worsen. Common side effects include:

• Dizziness

• Palpitations

• Skin rash

• Lowered blood pressure

Administration

This medication must be administered by a healthcare professional, either via intramuscular (IM) or intravenous (IV) injection. Do not self-administer.

How It Works

Duvadilan acts as a beta-adrenergic agonist, relaxing smooth muscles in the uterus to prevent premature contractions. It also dilates blood vessels, enhancing blood flow to critical areas like the extremities and brain, which makes it effective in treating peripheral vascular disease.

• Alcohol: Consult your doctor before consuming alcohol while using this medication.

• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Limited information is available; consult your healthcare provider before use.

• Driving: May cause drowsiness or dizziness; avoid driving if you experience these effects.
