Drugs of choice to reduce intracranial pressure

Nowadays, many people will suffer from increased intracranial pressure due to illness, which will cause some brain problems. In order to prevent this phenomenon from worsening, patients usually need to use some medications that can reduce intracranial pressure. However, not all patients can use these drugs. It still depends on what disease the drug is suitable for and choose the medication according to the disease.

1. The first choice drug for reducing intracranial pressure is mannitol, but the use of mannitol has indications. It cannot be used in active intracranial hemorrhage or the acute phase of cerebral infarction! If the patient has brain herniation, mannitol can be used before surgery! Suggestions: If the intracranial pressure is very high, mannitol can be used in combination with albumin and furosemide to produce a powerful dehydration and intracranial pressure reduction effect!

2 If the intracranial pressure is high, the first choice is mannitol intravenous drip, or surgical treatment to resolve intracranial lesions. However, according to what you said, you do not have high intracranial pressure, but just ordinary high blood pressure, which can be cured by taking antihypertensive drugs. The specific treatment of hypertension has been detailed above, so I will not repeat it. However, it is recommended that you do not take medicine indiscriminately on your own. It is recommended that you go to a regular medical institution to get your medicine, check your blood pressure regularly, and adjust the dosage in time to avoid too high or too low blood pressure.

3 Antihypertensive drugs cannot be changed casually. Only by knowing what antihypertensive drugs you took before can we give you guidance. The first step is to reduce the dosage of your oral medication and increase it, then observe for about half a month. If your blood pressure is still very high, consider combination medication!

4. Drugs for reducing intracranial pressure are mainly injections, mannitol, glycerol fructose and other drugs that improve symptoms by reducing intracranial pressure. You need to go to the hospital for medication treatment. It is recommended to go to the hospital to check and determine the cause of high intracranial pressure, and then develop a treatment plan. This headache is caused by increased intracranial pressure. To solve the headache problem, you need to solve the intracranial hypertension. First, you need to understand the cause of your intracranial hypertension. The more common ones are trauma and intracranial mass. I suggest you have a head CT scan. If there is brain tissue edema, mannitol or glycerol fructose can be used to reduce intracranial pressure for treatment.
