For Shock: My mother died using this medication. She had heart failure. Went to north shore hospital for a TAVR (transcatheter aortic valve replacement) and every time I look up they was giving my mother this medicine. She could not open her eyes or stay awake. Her eyes stayed shut for 2 weeks straight. Her Doctor said she had Cardiac cachexia. She was 80 years old and she never seen her 81st birthday and I am heart broken.
