Uses of Lopressor Injection
Benefits of Lopressor Injection
In Prevention of Stroke
Lopressor 1mg Injection reduces the risk of future strokes. It helps lower your blood pressure and make it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body. This reduces the chances of you having a stroke. It is given as an injection under the supervision of your doctor.
In Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Lopressor 1mg Injection belongs to a group of medicines called long-acting beta-blocker. Lopressor 1mg Injection works by blocking the effects of some chemicals on your heart and blood vessels. It slows down your heart rate and helps it to beat with less force. This lowers your blood pressure and helps in reducing your risk of having a stroke, a heart attack, other heart problems, or kidney problems in the future. This medicine needs to be taken regularly to be effective, so keep taking it even if you feel well. Do not stop without talking to your doctor.
In Treatment of Angina
Lopressor 1mg Injection relaxes the blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily around your body and makes sure that your heart is getting a good supply of oxygen. This makes it less likely that you will suffer chest pain caused by angina. This medicine can help increase your ability to exercise and go about your daily life more easily by reducing the frequency of angina attacks. You should take it regularly and as long as it is prescribed for it to work effectively.
In Treatment of Addison's disease
Lopressor 1mg Injection is used to stabilize heart rhythms (particularly atrial fibrillation). It helps in normalizing an abnormal heart rhythm, preventing it from occurring in the first place or slowing down the heart rate during an episode.
In Prevention of Migraine
Lopressor 1mg Injection helps change electrical activity in the brain, reduce the flow of blood in your brain or increase activity in a region of the brain associated with migraines.
