Vascon 20 Tablets

Vascon 20 Tablets

Description:

Vascon 5 mg 20 Tablets is a prescription cardiovascular medicine containing etilefrine, a sympathomimetic agent used to raise low blood pressure. It is primarily indicated for the treatment and prevention of hypotension and conditions associated with vascular collapse. By stimulating the cardiovascular system and improving vascular tone, Vascon helps stabilize blood pressure, reduce dizziness and fainting episodes, and support adequate blood flow to vital organs under medical supervision.

Indications:

• Treatment of hypotension (low blood pressure), including symptomatic orthostatic hypotension as prescribed by a physician.
• Prophylaxis (prevention) of vascular collapse in susceptible patients, as directed by a healthcare professional.
• Adjunctive treatment in dumping syndrome, to help manage circulatory disturbances related to rapid gastric emptying.
• Management of vasomotor headache associated with vascular dysregulation, when prescribed by a doctor.
• Relief of symptoms related to low blood pressure such as dizziness, weakness, fatigue, and tendency to faint, under medical supervision.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Etilefrine hydrochloride – 5 mg per tablet (sympathomimetic agent with predominantly alpha-adrenergic effects).
• Excipients: Other inactive ingredients (tablet base, binders, fillers, and coating agents) are present but not specified in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use Vascon 5 mg tablets only as prescribed by your physician. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
• Typical adult dosing regimens vary depending on the severity and cause of hypotension; your doctor will determine the appropriate dose and frequency.
• Tablets are usually taken orally with a sufficient amount of water.
• May be taken with or without food, unless your doctor advises otherwise. Taking with food may help reduce gastric discomfort in sensitive patients.
• Take the medicine at the same times each day to maintain stable blood levels and consistent blood pressure control.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
• Do not stop treatment abruptly without consulting your doctor, especially if you are taking it regularly for chronic hypotension.
• Elderly patients or those with cardiovascular disease require particularly careful dose adjustment and monitoring by a healthcare professional.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps increase low blood pressure by enhancing vascular tone and cardiac output, thereby improving circulation.
• Reduces symptoms of hypotension such as dizziness, lightheadedness, blurred vision, fatigue, and fainting episodes.
• Supports prevention of vascular collapse in at-risk patients, contributing to cardiovascular stability under medical supervision.
• Assists in managing circulatory disturbances associated with dumping syndrome and vasomotor headaches when prescribed.
• Improves overall functional capacity and daily activity tolerance in patients with symptomatic low blood pressure.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to etilefrine or any of the excipients.
• Contraindicated in hypertension (high blood pressure) and conditions where an increase in blood pressure or heart workload is dangerous.
• Do not use in patients with thyrotoxicosis (overactive thyroid), pheochromocytoma, or severe atherosclerosis.
• Contraindicated in glaucoma and in patients with hypertrophy of the prostate associated with urine retention.
• Not to be used in patients with tachycardia, coronary heart disease, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, or significant valvular stenosis unless strictly supervised by a specialist.
• Contraindicated during the first trimester of pregnancy and during lactation. Use in later pregnancy only if clearly needed and prescribed by a physician.
• Use with extreme caution in elderly patients, those with cardiovascular disease, arrhythmias, diabetes, or severe renal or hepatic impairment.
• Drug interactions: The action of etilefrine is increased when used concomitantly with tricyclic antidepressants, amantadine, isoniazid, and theophylline. Dihydralazine, lithium salts, beta-blockers, and quinidine may reduce its effect. Etilefrine may reduce the effect of guanethidine, sulfonylurea antidiabetics, and metformin. Concomitant use with bretylium may disturb heart rhythm.
• Avoid concomitant use with other sympathomimetic agents unless specifically prescribed and monitored by a doctor.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have medical conditions such as heart disease, arrhythmias, hypertension, thyroid disorders, diabetes, glaucoma, or prostate problems.
• Not intended for self-medication; use only under medical supervision.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include headache, nervousness, restlessness, palpitations, mild increase in heart rate, and gastrointestinal discomfort (nausea, vomiting, or stomach upset).
• Cardiovascular side effects can include increased blood pressure, tachycardia, arrhythmias, chest pain, and flushing, especially at higher doses or in sensitive patients.
• Less common effects may include sweating, tremor, dizziness, or difficulty sleeping.
• Serious side effects (seek immediate medical attention): severe chest pain, marked increase in blood pressure, severe headache, visual disturbances, shortness of breath, pronounced palpitations, or signs of allergic reaction such as rash, itching, swelling of the face or throat, or difficulty breathing.
• If any side effects become severe or you notice any unusual symptoms, stop taking the medicine and contact your doctor promptly.
