Product introduction

Cardigen Injection is a medicine used for short-term treatment of cardiac decompensation (low blood pressure due to poorly functioning heart) due to disease like heart failure, cardiogenic shock, or heart attack. It increases the blood pressure by increasing the pumping capacity of the heart.

Cardigen Injection makes the heart beat more strongly and used to treat heart diseases and heart failure

Uses of Cardigen Injection

Benefits of Cardigen Injection

In Heart failure

Heart failure means your heart is weak and cannot pump enough blood to your lungs and the rest of your body. The most common symptoms are breathlessness, tiredness, and swelling in your legs, ankles, abdomen and other parts of your body. Cardigen Injection makes it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body and is therefore an effective treatment for heart failure.
This medicine will help relieve your symptoms, making you feel better and more energetic. You should make appropriate lifestyle changes (such as eating healthily and keeping active) to help this medicine be effective. Follow your doctorโ€™s instructions carefully to get maximum benefit.

In Low blood pressure

Cardigen Injection is used to normalise decreased blood pressure (hypotension) which may occur all of a sudden during an operation, severe infection (sepsis) or due to an emergency condition (cardiac arrest). This medicine helps to bring back the blood pressure within normal range and therefore prevents any sudden fall or even serious complications that might have otherwise followed due to low blood pressure.

Side effects of Cardigen Injection

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if youโ€™re worried about them

Common side effects of Cardigen

  • High blood pressure
  • Insomnia (difficulty in sleeping)

How to use Cardigen Injection

Your doctor or nurse will give you this medicine. Kindly do not self administer.
