EMODILAN SR 40

Emodilan SR 40 belongs to a class of medication called 'vasodilators' (blood vessel relaxing agents) used to treat and prevent peripheral vascular diseases such as Raynaud's phenomenon, cerebral vascular insufficiency (poor blood flow to the brain), arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), Buerger's disease (a condition that causes small and medium arteries and veins to constrict blood flow to the hands and feet) and other conditions involving poor blood flow in the blood vessels. Besides this, it is also used for relaxing uterine muscles to prevent premature labour.

Emodilan SR 40 contains Isoxsuprine hydrochloride, which acts by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, thereby improving blood circulation. Thus, it helps to treat peripheral vascular diseases. Isoxsuprine Hydrochloride relaxes and prevents the contractions of smooth muscles of the uterus, thereby preventing premature labour.

Emodilan SR 40 should be taken regularly in dose and duration as advised by the doctor. In some cases, Emodilan SR 40 may cause dizziness, irregular heartbeat, nausea, vomiting, and weakness. Most of these side effects of Emodilan SR 40 do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Emodilan SR 40 should not be stopped abruptly without consulting the doctor as it may lead to unpleasant side effects. Inform your doctor before starting Emodilan SR 40 if you have any bleeding disorder or heart problem. Emodilan SR 40 may cause a sudden fall in blood pressure, so be cautious if you are driving, operating a motor vehicle or doing any hazardous task. Do not stand suddenly from a lying position as you may feel dizzy. Avoid alcohol intake with Emodilan SR 40 as it may cause dizziness.
