Treatment of hypotension (low blood pressure) during surgery or in other critical care settings.

Treatment of hypotension associated with shock or other critical illnesses.

As an adjunct in the treatment of cardiac arrest or severe bradycardia (slow heart rate) – often in emergency situations

Mephentermine is a sympathomimetic amine. It acts by stimulating alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors, leading to vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels) and increased heart rate and contractility. This results in increased blood pressure.

Store at controlled room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Consult the product labeling for specific storage instructions. Dispose of unused medication according to local regulations.

It is usually administered intravenously (IV) by a healthcare professional, sometimes intramuscularly (IM) in emergency situations.
