Excipient Ingredients: sodium chloride; water for injections
Intravenous Infusion
6 x 2mL
(S4) Prescription Only Medicine
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 is not effective in converting atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia to sinus rhythm, the slowing of AV conduction helps diagnosis of atrial activity. In this respect adenosine should be used as an adjunct to, but not a replacement for, clinical and ECG observations. It should be only used when, despite all diagnostic attempts, doubt still persists. Improved diagnostic sensitivity of intracavity electrophysiological investigations

WHAT ADENOCOR IS USED FOR Adenocor is a type of medicine used to treat a condition called paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (including a condition called Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome).

DIAGNOSTIC INDICATIONS Aid to diagnosis of broad or narrow QRS complex supraventricular tachycardias. Although Adenocor is not effective in converting atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia to sinus rhythm, the slowing of AV conduction helps diagnosis of atrial activity. In this respect adenosine should be used as an adjunct to, but not a replacement for, clinical and ECG observations. It should be used only when, despite all diagnostic attempts, doubt still persists. Improved diagnostic sensitivity of intracavity electrophysiological investigations. 4.2 DOSE AND METHOD ADMINISTRATION Adenocor should be used only in hospitals, with monitoring and cardiorespiratory resuscitation equipment available for immediate use if necessary. 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, it should be administered either directly into a vein or into an adenocor-ccdsv8-piv5-16jul20 Page 2 of 11 IV line. If administered via 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 incre Izlasiet visu dokumentu
