What are the side effects of Pruside?

Why is Pruside protected from light?

Pruside is extremely sensitive to light. If left open, its chemical composition changes rapidly and the color may change from brown to blue or green. If left unprotected, 20% of the solution will deteriorate every 4 hours even in glass bottles. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent exposure of Pruside to any kind of light, especially fluorescent light.

How does Pruside decrease blood pressure?

Pruside widens the blood vessels (arteries and veins) which provides a better and smooth path for the blood to flow. This reduces the pressure on the walls which results in effective and significant decrease in the blood pressure.

What is Pruside used for?

Pruside belongs to a class of medicines known as vasodilators. It is used to decrease the blood pressure in emergency conditions where the blood pressure is extremely high (hypertensive crisis). It is also used to maintain low blood pressure during surgical procedures in a hospital setting.

Why is Pruside wrapped in aluminum foil?

Pruside is wrapped in aluminum foil to protect it from light. This is because Pruside is very sensitive to light. The solution will degrade every 4 hours if left unprotected. On the contrary, covering it with aluminum foil makes it stable for around 24 hours.
