Adverse Reactions

Norepinephrine [noradrenaline] is an extremely potent peripheral vasoconstrictor and hypertension (possible associated with reflex bradycardia), headache and peripheral ischaemia, which may be severe enough to result in gangrene of the extremities, are among the potential adverse effects. Norepinephrine is a severe tissue irritant and only very dilute solutions should be injected. The needle must be inserted well into the vein to avoid extravasation, otherwise severe phlebitis and sloughing may occur.
