4. CLINICAL 
PARTICULARS 
4.1 Therapeutic Indications  
Rapid conversion to a normal sinus rhythm of paroxysmal
supraventricular tachycardias, including 
those associated with accessory by-pass tracts (Wolff-Parkinson-White
Syndrome).  
Diagnostic Indications  
Aid to diagnosis of broad or narrow complex supraventricular
tachycardias. Although Adenocor will 
not convert atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation or ventricular
tachycardia to sinus rhythm, the slowing of AV 
conduction helps diagnosis of atrial activity.  
Sensitisation of intra-cavitary electrophysiological
investigations. 

4.2 Posology and Method of Administration  
Adenocor is intended for hospital use only with monitoring and
cardiorespiratory resuscitation 
equipment available for immediate use. It
should be administered by rapid IV bolus injection 
according to the ascending dosage schedule below. To be certain
the solution reaches the systemic 
circulation administer either directly into a vein or into an IV
line. If given into an IV line it should be 
injected as proximally as possible, and followed by a rapid saline
flush.  
Adenocor should only be used when facilities exist for cardiac
monitoring. Patients who develop high-
level AV block at a particular dose should not be given further dosage
increments.  
THERAPEUTIC DOSE  
Adult:  
Initial dose: 3 mg given as a rapid intravenous bolus (over 2
seconds).  
Second dose: If the first dose does not result in elimination of
the supraventricular tachycardia within 
1 to 2 minutes, 6 mg should be given also as a rapid intravenous
bolus.  
Third dose: If the second dose does not re
