MEPHENTERMINE SULPHATE INJECTION IP

Mephentermine Sulphate Injection is a cardiac stimulant drug used for treatment of low blood pressure in hypotensive states1. It indirectly acts on β-adrenergic receptor and releases norepinephrine, which leads to vasoconstriction and finally increases the blood pressure1. The dose for adults is 30–45 mg as a single dose, repeated as necessary or followed by intravenous infusion of 0.1% mephentermine in 5% dextrose, with the rate and duration of administration depending on the patient's response2.
