ADENOJECT INJECTION 10ML

ADENOJECT INJECTION belongs to a class of antiarrhythmic medications primarily used to treat a condition called paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (including a condition called Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome). This condition is a form of abnormal cardiac rhythm or arrhythmia. It happens when the upper chamber of the heart produces a short circuit beat. As a result, the pulse is regular yet fast, starting and stopping suddenly. Besides, ADENOJECT INJECTION is used as an aid to doctors to understand how your heart is working.

ADENOJECT INJECTION contains adenosine, which works by slowing down the electrical impulses which control the heart rhythm. This allows the heart rhythm to return to normal.

ADENOJECT INJECTION is only given in hospitals. It is provided to you as an injection by an experienced healthcare professional. ADENOJECT INJECTION may cause side effects such as chest pain or pressure on the chest, feeling dizzy or light-headed, feeling sick (nausea), headache, unusual skin sensations, uneven heartbeat, and nervousness. Most of these side effects of ADENOJECT INJECTION do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, reach out to your doctor.

Before prescribing the ADENOJECT INJECTION, let your doctor know about all your medical conditions, allergic reactions, and all medications you are using. And also, inform your doctor if you are pregnant or planning pregnancy so that your doctor will weigh the benefits and potential risks before prescribing ADENOJECT INJECTION. Avoid driving or operating tools or machinery as ADENOJECT INJECTION may cause dizziness or light-headedness. Do not consume alcohol while on treatment with ADENOJECT INJECTION.

ADENOJECT INJECTION is an antiarrhythmic medication used to address a condition known as paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. (Including a condition called Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome). This is when the heart pulses too quickly. ADENOJECT INJECTION works by slowing down the electrical impulses that regulate the heart rhythm. This enables the heart rhythm to return to normal. Aside from that, ADENOJECT INJECTION is used to help doctors comprehend how your heart works.

• Slow heartbeat (bradycardia)
• Skipped heartbeats or extra heartbeats
• A heart problem called an AV block
• Heart problems which can be fatal (asystole)
• Uneven heartbeat
• Shortness of breath
• Chest pain or pressure in the chest
• Feeling dizzy or light-headed
• Feeling sick (nausea)
• Headache
• Unusual skin sensations such as burning and reddening
• Feeling nervous

Before taking the ADENOJECT INJECTION, let your doctor know about all your sensitivities and all medications you are using. The presence of additional medical issues may impact the use of this medication, so inform your doctor if you have any other medical issues, especially asthma or any other lung disease or epilepsy or seizures or have recently had a heart transplant or have some other problems with your heart or heart rhythm or have severe low blood pressure.

Drug-drug interactions: ADENOJECT INJECTION may interact with antipsychotic medication (e.g. haloperidol), and it should be used cautiously in patients receiving digoxin or digoxin and verapamil in combination.

Drug-food interactions: Limit or avoid consuming Caffeine and Nicotine foods or beverages.

Drug-disease interactions: ADENOJECT INJECTION should be used with caution in patients with AV node dysfunction, cardiovascular dysfunction, severe low blood pressure, proarrhythmic effects (medication-induced side-effects) and bronchoconstriction (narrowing of the airways) or asthma or any other lung disease.

• HALOPERIDOL
• DIGOXIN
• VERAPAMIL

• Follow a well-balanced and healthy diet that includes vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, omega-3-rich foods, and lean protein sources.
• Spend time with your loved ones to cope with stress and practice mindfulness techniques.
• Limit or avoid alcohol consumption.
• Quitting smoking is the best strategy to lower the risk of heart disease.

Arrhythmia: Arrhythmia is a problem associated with the rate of rhythm at which the heart beats. Generally, in this condition, the heart beats too fast, too slow, or irregularly. It can lead to severe heart damage. A cardiac arrhythmia occurs when there are abnormal electrical signals in the heart. When the heart beats too fast, it is known as tachycardia; if it is too slow, it is called bradycardia. Treatment of arrhythmia includes drugs, medical procedures, implantable devices and sometimes surgery.

Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT): Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a medical condition where your heart suddenly beats much faster than normal. SVT occurs when the electrical system that controls your heart rhythm is malfunctioning. This leads your heart to beat much faster suddenly. It can then slow down abruptly. A normal resting heart rate is 60 to 100 beats per minute (bpm). But with SVT, your heart rate suddenly goes above 100 bpm. This can happen when you're resting or doing exercise.

Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia: Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) is a form of arrhythmia or abnormal heart rhythm. It happens when a short circuit rhythm develops in the heart's upper chamber. This causes a regular but rapid heartbeat that begins and ends suddenly.
