BENEFITS OF DIXIN 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. DIXIN 0.5 MG INJECTION makes it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body and is therefore an effective treatment for heart failure.
It is given as an injection by a doctor or nurse and should not be self-administered. 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.

In Arrhythmia

DIXIN 0.5 MG INJECTION is used to stabilize heart rhythms (particularly atrial fibrillation). It helps in normalizing an abnormal heart rhythm, preventing it from occurring in the first place, or slowing down the heart rate during an episode.

 

HOW TO USE DIXIN INJECTION

HOW DIXIN INJECTION WORKS

DIXIN 0.5 MG INJECTION is a cardiac glycoside. It works by correcting irregular heartbeat to a normal rhythm and increases the force with which the heart muscle contracts with every heartbeat. This makes the heart pump more efficiently and increases blood circulation throughout the body.
