Product Description: Isoxsuprine Injection is a sterile solution used for intravenous administration.

Additionally, it is used to improve uterine blood flow and reduce the incidence of premature labor.

For peripheral vascular diseases, the usual adult dose is 5 to 10 mg administered intravenously over 20 to 30 minutes, repeated every 6 hours as needed. In obstetric use, the recommended dose is 10 to 20 mg administered intravenously, with the option for subsequent intermittent doses or continuous infusion as determined by the healthcare provider.
