SUPROX SR TABLETS

DESCRIPTION

SUPROX SR TABLET contains Isoxsuprine which belongs to the group of medicines called Vasodilators. It is used in the management of premature labor (when the uterus starts contracting for birth too early than usual), cerebral vascular insufficiency (poor blood flow to the brain) and arteriosclerosis obliterans (hardening of the arteries).

SUPROX SR TABLET can also be used to manage Buerger’s disease (blood vessels become inflamed, swollen and can become blocked with blood clots), Raynaud’s phenomenon (decreased blood flow to the nose, ears, fingers, toes, nipples or knees) and dysmenorrhea (painful menstrual cramps).

SUPROX SR TABLET should not be used immediately after delivering a baby or if you have a bleeding disorder. SUPROX SR TABLET is not recommended for use if you have any heart disease (especially arrhythmias), hyperthyroidism, chorioamnionitis, bleeding, eclampsia or pre-eclampsia.

USES

• premature labor
• cerebral vascular insufficiency
• arteriosclerosis obliterans
• thromboangitis obliterans (Buerger’s disease)
• Raynaud’s phenomenon

WORKS

SUPROX SR TABLET manages premature labor by managing the contractions of the smooth muscles in the uterus. In peripheral vascular disease, it helps in widening of blood vessels to increase blood flow, thereby improving blood circulation to certain parts of the body (such as the hands/feet and brain).

USE

Take SUPROX SR TABLET as advised by your physician. Swallow the medicines with enough water. Do not crush or chew it. The correct dose and duration will be decided by your physician for you according to your age, body weight and disease condition.
