Who should not use Ipigrix?+
Ipigrix is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to Ipidacrine Hydrochloride, severe hepatic impairment, or those taking non‑selective cholinergic antagonists that would negate its effect. Caution is also advised for individuals with uncontrolled cardiac conditions.
