Description

Introduction to Cardigen 250mg Injection: 

Cardigen 250mg Injection 5ml is a medicine used in hospital settings to support the heart when it is not pumping strongly enough (severe heart failure with depressed contractility). It helps improve heart function, supports blood circulation, and relieves symptoms such as shortness of breath and fluid build-up, especially when other treatments have not given enough relief.

Cardigen 250mg Injection 5ml contains dobutamine, an inotropic medicine that helps strengthen the heart’s pumping action. It is given as a controlled intravenous infusion by a healthcare professional, with the dose and rate adjusted to your response. It is also used to detect poor blood supply to the heart during a specialised heart test (cardiac stress testing).

This medicine is given under close monitoring in a hospital or clinic setting. Vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and heart rhythm are checked regularly during treatment. Any new chest pain, palpitations, or breathing difficulty should be reported to the healthcare team immediately.

Before receiving this medicine, the healthcare team will review your medical history, including any heart rhythm problems, severe coronary artery disease, recent heart attack, or other medicines you are taking. Tell your doctor if you have asthma or have ever had a strong reaction to a similar medicine. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should discuss the risks and benefits with their doctor.

How Cardigen 250mg Injection 5Ml Works?

Cardigen 250mg Injection 5ml contains Dobutamine (250 mg). It works in the following ways:

Dobutamine is a cardiac stimulant and an adrenergic medication. It works by directly activating beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart muscle, enhancing the strength of the heart’s contractions—a response known as a positive inotropic effect. This improves the heart’s output without causing significant changes in blood pressure or heart rate. Additionally, Dobutamine may cause mild peripheral vasodilation, which refers to a slight widening of blood vessels in the body.

• Daily Dose: The daily dose of Cardigen 250mg Injection 5ml should be administrated as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage may vary based on factors such as your health condition and response to the medicine. Always follows the prescribed dosage and avoid changes without consulting your doctors.

Mechanism of Action of Cardigen 250mg Injection:
