    Isoxsuprine Hydrochloride

    Uploaded by

    Patricia Mae Miranda
    Isoxsuprine is a peripheral vasodilator used to treat cerebral vascular insufficiency, premature labor, and peripheral vascular diseases. It works by stimulating beta-adrenergic receptors and dilating arteries. Common adverse effects include dizziness, tremors, palpitations, and low blood pressure. It is contraindicated in patients with arterial bleeding, hypotension, tachycardia, or allergies to the drug. Nurses should monitor blood pressure, pulse, and fetal heart rate during administration due to risk of hypotension and tachycardia. Patients should notify their doctor of any adverse reactions and make position changes slowly to prevent orthostatic hypotension.
