Adecard Injection 6 mg/2 ml contains Adenosine, a naturally occurring nucleoside used primarily in the management of certain types of abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). It is most commonly administered in emergency or clinical settings to treat paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT), a condition where the heart suddenly starts beating very fast due to abnormal electrical activity.

Adenosine works by slowing down the electrical conduction through the atrioventricular (AV) node in the heart. This action helps restore a normal heart rhythm quickly. Due to its rapid onset and very short duration of action, Adecard Injection is highly effective and widely used in acute cardiac care.

Key Benefits

• Rapidly restores normal heart rhythm in PSVT patients
• Acts within seconds after intravenous administration
• Short half-life reduces prolonged side effects
• Useful for both diagnosis and treatment of certain arrhythmias
• Administered under medical supervision for immediate effect

Indications

Adecard Injection is indicated for:

• Treatment of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT)
• Diagnostic aid in wide or narrow complex tachycardia
• Temporary management of certain cardiac arrhythmias

Mechanism of Action

Adenosine slows conduction time through the AV node and can interrupt re-entry pathways in the heart, which are responsible for rapid heart rates. This results in the restoration of a normal sinus rhythm. Its effects are extremely short-lived, typically lasting less than 10 seconds.

Dosage and Administration

• Administered as a rapid intravenous bolus injection
• Initial dose is usually 6 mg, followed by additional doses if required
• Given under continuous cardiac monitoring in a hospital setting
• Only to be administered by trained healthcare professionals

Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

• Flushing (warm sensation)
• Chest discomfort or tightness
• Shortness of breath
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Temporary slowing of heart rate

These effects are usually brief due to the drug’s short duration of action.

Precautions and Warnings

• Use with caution in patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
• Not recommended in patients with certain heart blocks unless a pacemaker is present
• Continuous ECG monitoring is essential during administration
• Should be used carefully in patients taking other heart medications

Contraindications

• Second- or third-degree AV block (without pacemaker)
• Sick sinus syndrome
• Known hypersensitivity to adenosine

Storage Instructions

• Store below 25°C
• Protect from light
• Keep out of reach of children.
