unresponsive to
fluid replacement. It is also indicated in the treatment of
hypotension secondary to spinal
anaesthesia. DBL
™
Ephedrine Sulfate Injection has also been used in the treatment of

adrenergic agonists) are now available.
4.2 DOSE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
DBL

Ephedrine Sulfate Injection is administered by the intramuscular,
subcutaneous or
intravenous route. Patients in shock may require intravenous
administration to ensure
absorption of the drug. When administered intravenously, the injection
should be given
slowly. Care should be taken to avoid extravasation, since this may
result in tissue necrosis
and sloughing. Ephedrine sulfate should be administered in the lowest
effective dose. The
parenteral adult dose should not exceed 150 mg in 24 hours.
As a pressor:
_Adult dose:_ The usual adult dose is 25-50 mg (range 10-50 mg)
administered intramuscularly
or subcutaneously. Additional doses should be based on patient
response. The intravenous
route may be used if an immediate response is required. The dosage for
the intravenous route
is 10-25 mg which may be repeated every 5-10 minute until the desired
response is obtained.
_Paediatric dose:_ The recommended paediatric dose is 3 mg/kg/day or
100 mg/m
2
/day via the
intravenous or subcutaneous route, given in 4-6 divided doses.
