Product Overview:
Adenosine 3mg/2mL Injectable SDV (Single Dose Vial) is a critical medication used in the acute management of certain types of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), a condition characterized by an abnormally fast heart rate. This product is designed for rapid intravenous (IV) administration to provide swift and effective relief in emergency settings.
Key Features:
- Rapid Onset of Action: Adenosine acts quickly to restore normal heart rhythms, typically within seconds of administration, making it invaluable in emergency cardiac care.
- Specific Mechanism: It works by slowing conduction through the atrioventricular (AV) node and interrupting re-entry pathways in the heart, which helps in restoring normal sinus rhythm.
- Clear, Colorless Solution: The injectable solution is clear and colorless, ensuring easy inspection for particulate matter or discoloration before administration.
- Single Dose Vial: Packaged in a convenient single dose vial to ensure accurate dosing and reduce the risk of contamination or dosing errors.
Specifications:
- Concentration: 3mg of adenosine per 2mL of solution
- Packaging: Supplied in sterile, single-dose vials (SDVs) for intravenous injection
- Volume: 2mL per vial
- Storage: Store at controlled room temperature, protected from light
Indications:
- Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT): Adenosine is primarily indicated for the conversion of PSVT to normal sinus rhythm.
- Diagnostic Use: It can be used diagnostically to aid in the identification of supraventricular arrhythmias.
Administration and Dosage:
- Route: Intravenous (IV) bolus injection
- Initial Dose: Typically, an initial dose of 6mg is administered rapidly (over 1-2 seconds), followed by a flush with saline.
- Subsequent Doses: If the initial dose is ineffective, additional doses of 12mg may be given, followed by a saline flush. A maximum of three doses may be administered.
