Introduction About DUVADILAN 5MG INJECTION

DUVADILAN 5MG INJECTION contains Isoxsuprine which belongs to the group of
medicines called Vasodilators. It is used in the management of premature labor
(when the uterus contraction starts for birth too early than usual) or
threatened abortion, cerebral vascular insufficiency (poor blood flow to the
brain) and arteriosclerosis obliterans (hardening of the arteries).

DUVADILAN 5MG INJECTION is also used to manage Buerger's disease (blood vessels
become inflamed, swell and can become blocked with blood clots) and Raynaud’s
phenomenon (decreased blood flow to the nose, ears, fingers, toes, nipples or
knees). You should avoid participating in any stressful or heavy activities in
order to manage premature labor.

Avoid smoking tobacco during DUVADILAN 5MG INJECTION management as it can
further constrict your blood vessels. DUVADILAN 5MG INJECTION should not be used
immediately postpartum (after delivering a baby) or if you have a bleeding
disorder, heart disease, severe anemia, premature detachment of the placenta and
premature labor if there is infection.

DUVADILAN 5MG INJECTION should be used in pregnant women only if the potential
benefits outweigh the potential risks to mother and her baby. There are no
reports of problems with DUVADILAN 5MG INJECTION use in breastfeeding babies but
consult your doctor before receiving it.

How DUVADILAN 5MG INJECTION Works

DUVADILAN 5MG INJECTION manages premature labor by managing the contractions of
the smooth muscles in the uterus. In peripheral vascular disease, it helps in
widening of blood vessels to increase blood flow, thereby improving blood
circulation to certain parts of the body (such as the hands, feet and brain).
