PPC Adenosine (Adenosine)

Additional information

PPC Adenosine (Adenosine)'s dosage depends on the condition being treated. Your doctor or pharmacist may have suggested a schedule that is more appropriate for you. It will be given to you by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinical setting. Adenosine is injected into the veins (intravenous - IV). It should only be used in a setting with appropriate cardiac monitoring and resuscitative facility.
 
WARNING: Adenosine may cause atrial fibrillation/flutter (an irregular and often abnormally fast heart rate) when administered to patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) and may be especially problematic in patients with PSVT and underlying Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (an abnormal electrical communication from the atria to the ventricles). Adenosine may cause an increase in blood pressure which may last several hours. Use with extreme caution in heart transplant recipients or heart failure (when the heart is unable to pump blood around the body properly). Use with caution in patients with respiratory disorders such as asthma (a condition in which your airways narrow and swell and may produce extra mucus), and in the elderly. 
 
In addition to its desired action, PPC Adenosine (Adenosine) may cause some side effects, notably:
It may cause facial flushing (redness), dyspnea (shortness of breath), chest pressure, or nausea.
It may cause headaches, sweating, palpitations, or hypotension (low blood pressure).
It may cause lightheadedness, dizziness, tingling in arms, numbness, or blurred vision. 
 
Contraindications: Hypersensitivity to adenosine or any component of the formulation. Do not use in case of second- or third-degree AV block (an interruption or delay of electrical conduction from the atria to the ventricles), sick sinus syndrome (a disease in which the heart's natural pacemaker becomes damaged and is no longer able to generate normal heartbeats at the normal rate), or symptomatic bradycardia (slow heart rate) (except in patients with a functioning artificial pacemaker).
 
Taking PPC Adenosine (Adenosine) during pregnancy may be harmful for the baby. Women of childbearing potential should use an effective contraceptive method. Pregnant women should not use this product. If you're planning a pregnancy or become pregnant or breastfeeding, contact your family doctor.
