About Ketasol injection 100mg

Ketasol injection 100mg Uses

• Induction and maintenance of general anaesthesia

• Pain control in emergency and trauma settings
• Anaesthesia in patients with unstable blood pressure, where other agents carry more risk

Drug Class

• Dissociative anaesthetic
• NMDA receptor antagonist

What Experts Say

Ketamine blocks NMDA receptors in the brain, producing a trance like anaesthetic state while keeping breathing and airway reflexes relatively stable.

It is given only by a doctor or trained hospital staff through an IV or IM injection, with the dose calculated by body weight and procedure.

Rising blood pressure, heart rate, and vivid dreams on waking are the effects most closely watched, so patients are monitored in a controlled clinical setting after the dose.

Drug Interactions

Ketamine can interact with other sedatives and drugs affecting the heart or brain.

• Other sedatives and opioids: Combining increases the risk of breathing difficulty and deep sedation.
• Theophylline: May lower seizure threshold when combined with ketamine.
• Blood pressure medicines: Ketamine's effect on blood pressure can interact with existing cardiovascular treatment.

Risks and warnings

• Raised blood pressure: Ketamine can raise blood pressure and heart rate, so it needs caution in hypertension or heart disease.
• Emergence reactions: Vivid dreams, hallucinations, or confusion can occur while waking from anaesthesia.
• Increased intracranial pressure: Used with caution in head injury or raised brain pressure.
• Controlled substance: Ketamine has abuse potential and is strictly controlled, administered only in a clinical setting.
