Uses of Nipress Injection
Benefits of Nipress Injection
In Hypertensive emergency
Nipress 50mg Injection reduces stress on the heart by relaxing and widening the blood vessels. This makes it easier for the heart to pump blood around your body, thereby lowering your blood pressure. This medicine is injected into a vein under the supervision of a doctor. It is used for immediate reduction of very high blood pressure (hypertensive emergency). Controlled blood pressure reduces the risk of having a heart attack, stroke, or kidney problems.
In Acute Heart failure
Heart failure means your heart is weak and cannot pump enough blood to your lungs and the rest of your body. The most common symptoms are breathlessness, tiredness, and swelling in your legs, ankles, abdomen, and other parts of your body. Nipress 50mg Injection makes it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body and is, therefore, an effective treatment for heart failure.
