Heart failure means your heart is weak and cannot pump enough blood to your lungs and the rest of your body. The most common symptoms are breathlessness, tiredness, and swelling in your legs, ankles, abdomen and other parts of your body. Dixin Injection makes it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body and is therefore an effective treatment for heart failure.
It is given as an injection by a doctor or nurse and should not be self-administered. This medicine will help relieve your symptoms, making you feel better and more energetic. You should make appropriate lifestyle changes (such as eating healthily and keeping active) to help this medicine be effective.
