I was recently administered Ephedrine Sulfate 50mg/ml Inj, 1ml during a surgery to help maintain my blood pressure. I am curious about others' experiences with this medication, especially regarding side effects. The list of possible side effects is quite extensive, and I want to know if anyone has experienced any of the more serious ones. I’ve heard that it can cause high blood pressure, seizures, and even allergic reactions. How common are these, and what should I watch out for? Do doctors take any special precautions when administering this medication, and what kind of follow-up care do they recommend?
