✅ Primary Uses
Nor-ADR Injection is indicated for:
• Septic Shock: A life-threatening condition caused by severe infection leading to dangerously low blood pressure.
• Cardiogenic Shock: A state where the heart is unable to pump sufficient blood to meet the body's needs. Anaphylactic Shock: A severe allergic reaction causing a sudden drop in blood pressure.
• Hypotension During Surgery or Trauma: To maintain adequate blood pressure during and after surgical procedures or traumatic events.
• Cardiac Arrest: As an adjunct in the management of cardiac arrest to improve blood flow to vital organs.
These indications are supported by clinical guidelines and pharmacological references.

⚙️ Mechanism of Action
Noradrenaline is a potent vasopressor that works by: Alpha-1 Adrenergic Receptor Activation: Causing vasoconstriction, which increases systemic vascular resistance and raises blood pressure.
• Beta-1 Adrenergic Receptor Activation: Increasing heart rate and myocardial contractility, thereby enhancing cardiac output.
This dual action helps restore blood pressure and improve perfusion to vital organs in shock states.
