Ephedrine hydrochloride is a medication used to treat hypotension (low blood pressure), especially during anesthesia or in emergency situations. It works by stimulating the sympathetic nervous system, increasing blood pressure and improving blood circulation. Administration is usually by injection under strict medical supervision.

Treatment with ephedrine hydrochloride requires careful monitoring, as the dose must be adjusted based on the patient's response and any side effects. It is important for patients to be supervised by qualified medical personnel during administration.

Side effects may include palpitations, increased blood pressure, anxiety, insomnia, or headaches. In rare cases, severe allergic reactions or heart rhythm disturbances may occur.

Ephedrine hydrochloride is an effective medication for rapidly increasing blood pressure, but its use should be limited to well-justified situations and under constant medical supervision.
