* Dosing Information


For rapid bolus [[intravenous]] use only. Adenosine injection should be given as a rapid bolus by the peripheral [[intravenous]] route. To be certain the solution reaches the [[systemic circulation]], it should be administered either directly into a vein or, if given into an [[IV]] line, it should be given as close to the patient as possible and followed by a rapid saline flush.
|indication=


:*Initial dose: '''Adenosine 6 mg given as a rapid [[intravenous]] bolus''' (administered over a 1 to 2 second period).


:*Repeat administration: If the first dose does not result in elimination of the [[supraventricular tachycardia]] within 1 to 2 minutes, '''Adenosine 12 mg''' should be given as a '''rapid [[intravenous]] bolus'''. This 12 mg dose may be repeated a second time if required.


Doses greater than 12 mg are not recommended for adult patients.

|contraindications=
 
* Condition1


*Adenosine [[injection]] exerts its effect by decreasing conduction through the [[AV node|A-V node]] and may produce a short lasting [[first degree AV block|first]]-, [[second degree AV block|second]]- or [[third degree AV block|third-degree heart block]]. Appropriate therapy should be instituted as needed. Patients who develop high-level block on one dose of adenosine should not be given additional doses. Because of the very short [[half-life]] of adenosine, these effects are generally self-limiting. Appropriate [[resuscitation|resuscitative]] measures should be available.
<!--Warnings-->
*Transient or prolonged episodes of [[asystole]] have been reported with fatal outcomes in some cases. Rarely, [[ventricular fibrillation]] has been reported following adenosine administration, including both [[resuscitation|resuscitated]] and fatal events. In most instances, these cases were associated with the concomitant use of [[digoxin]] and, less frequently with [[digoxin]] and [[verapamil]]. Although no causal relationship or drug-drug interaction has been established, adenosine should be used with caution in patients receiving [[digoxin]] or [[digoxin]] and [[verapamil]] in combination.


=====[[Arrhythmia]]s at Time of Conversion=====
|warnings=


*At the time of conversion to normal [[sinus rhythm]], a variety of new rhythms may appear on the [[electrocardiogram]]. They generally last only a few seconds without intervention, and may take the form of [[premature ventricular contraction]]s, [[atrial premature contraction]]s, [[atrial fibrillation]], [[sinus bradycardia]], [[sinus tachycardia]], skipped beats, and varying degrees of [[AV block|A-V nodal block]]. Such findings were seen in 55% of patients.
* Description


=====[[Bronchoconstriction]]=====
====Precautions====


*Adenosine is a [[respiratory stimulant]] (probably through activation of [[carotid body]] [[chemoreceptor]]s) and [[intravenous]] administration in man has been shown to increase [[minute ventilation]] (Ve) and reduce arterial PCO2 causing [[respiratory alkalosis]].
* Description
*Adenosine administered by [[inhalation]] has been reported to cause [[bronchoconstriction]] in [[asthma]]tic patients, presumably due to [[mast cell]] [[degranulation]] and [[histamine]] release. These effects have not been observed in normal subjects. Adenosine has been administered to a limited number of patients with [[asthma]] and mild to moderate exacerbation of their symptoms has been reported. [[Respiratory]] compromise has occurred during adenosine infusion in patients with [[obstructive pulmonary disease]]. Adenosine should be used with caution in patients with [[obstructive lung disease]] not associated with [[bronchoconstriction]] (e.g., [[emphysema]], [[bronchitis]], etc.) and should be avoided in patients with [[bronchoconstriction]] or [[bronchospasm]] (e.g., [[asthma]]). Adenosine should be discontinued in any patient who develops severe [[respiratory]] difficulties.
|clinicalTrials=The following reactions were reported with [[intravenous]] adenosine used in controlled U.S. clinical trials. The [[placebo]] group had a less than 1% rate of all of these reactions.


======Cardiovascular======
<!--Adverse Reactions-->


:Facial flushing (18%), [[headache]] (2%), sweating, [[palpitation]]s, [[chest pain]], [[hypotension]] (less than 1%).
<!--Clinical Trials Experience-->


======Respiratory======
|clinicalTrials=


:Shortness of breath/ [[dyspnea]] (12%), chest pressure (7%), [[hyperventilation]], head pressure (less than 1%).
There is limited information regarding <i>Clinical Trial Experience</i> of {{PAGENAME}} in the drug label.


======Central Nervous System======
=====Body as a Whole=====


:Lightheadedness (2%), dizziness, tingling in arms, numbness (1%), apprehension, blurred vision, burning sensation, heaviness in arms, neck and back pain (less than 1%).


======Gastrointestinal======


:[[Nausea]] (3%), metallic taste, tightness in throat, pressure in groin (less than 1%).
|postmarketing=The following adverse events have been reported from marketing experience with adenosine. Because these events are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, are associated with concomitant diseases and multiple drug therapies and surgical procedures, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Decisions to include these events in labeling are typically based on one or more of the following factors: (1) seriousness of the event, (2) frequency of the reporting, (3) strength of causal connection to the drug, or a combination of these factors.


======Cardiovascular======
=====Cardiovascular=====


:Prolonged [[asystole]], [[ventricular tachycardia]], [[ventricular fibrillation]], transient increase in blood pressure, [[bradycardia]], [[atrial fibrillation]], and [[Torsade de Pointes]].


======Respiratory======


:Bronchospasm


======Central Nervous System======
=====Digestive=====


:[[Seizure]] activity, including [[seizure|tonic clonic (grand mal) seizures]], and loss of consciousness.
|drugInteractions=*[[Intravenous]] adenosine has been effectively administered in the presence of other cardioactive drugs, such as [[quinidine]], [[beta-adrenergic blocking agents]], [[CCB|calcium channel blocking agents]], and [[angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor]]s, without any change in the adverse reaction profile.
*[[Digoxin]] and [[verapamil]] use may be rarely associated with [[ventricular fibrillation]] when combined with adenosine. Because of the potential for additive or synergistic depressant effects on the [[SA node|SA]] and [[AV node]]s, however, adenosine should be used with caution in the presence of these agents. The use of adenosine in patients receiving [[digitalis]] may be rarely associated with [[ventricular fibrillation]].
*The effects of adenosine are antagonized by [[methylxanthine]]s such as [[caffeine]] and [[theophylline]]. In the presence of these [[methylxanthine]]s, larger doses of adenosine may be required or adenosine may not be effective.
*Adenosine effects are potentiated by [[dipyridamole]]. Thus, smaller doses of adenosine may be effective in the presence of [[dipyridamole]].
*[[Carbamazepine]] has been reported to increase the degree of [[heart block]] produced by other agents. As the primary effect of adenosine is to decrease conduction through the [[AV node|A-V node]], higher degrees of [[heart block]] may be produced in the presence of [[carbamazepine]].
|FDAPregCat=C
|useInPregnancyFDA=Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with adenosine; nor have studies been performed in pregnant women. As adenosine is a naturally occurring material, widely dispersed throughout the body, no fetal effects would be anticipated. However, since it is not known whether adenosine can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women, adenosine should be used during [[pregnancy]] only if clearly needed.
|useInPregnancyAUS=There is no Australian Drug Evaluation Committee (ADEC) guidance on usage of Adenosine in women who are pregnant.
|useInLaborDelivery=There is no FDA guidance on use of Adenosine during labor and delivery.
|useInNursing=There is no FDA guidance on use of Adenosine during nursing.
|useInPed=No controlled studies have been conducted in [[pediatric]] patients to establish the safety and [[efficacy]] of adenosine for the conversion of [[paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia]] ([[PSVT]]). However, [[intravenous]] adenosine has been used for the treatment of [[PSVT]] in [[neonate]]s, [[infant]]s, children and [[adolescent]]s.
|useInGeri=Clinical studies of adenosine did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between elderly and younger patients. In general, adenosine in [[geriatric]] patients should be used with caution since this population may have a diminished cardiac function, nodal dysfunction, concomitant diseases or drug therapy that may alter [[hemodynamic]] function and produce severe [[bradycardia]] or [[AV block]].
|useInGender=There is no FDA guidance on use of Adenosine with respect to specific gender.

|administration=For rapid bolus [[intravenous]] use only.


Adenosine [[injection]] should be given as a rapid bolus by the peripheral [[intravenous]] route. To be certain the solution reaches the [[systemic circulation]], it should be administered either directly into a [[vein]] or, if given into an [[IV]] line, it should be given as close to the patient as possible and followed by a rapid saline flush.


*'''Adult Patients'''


The dose recommendation is based on clinical studies with peripheral venous bolus dosing. Central venous ([[CVP]] or other) administration of adenosine has not been systematically studied.
=====Endocrine=====


Initial dose is given as a rapid [[intravenous]] bolus (administered over a 1 to 2 second period). If the first dose does not result in elimination of the [[supraventricular tachycardia]] within 1 to 2 minutes, 12 mg should be given as a rapid [[intravenous]] bolus. This 12 mg dose may be repeated a second time if required.


*'''Pediatric Patients'''


The dosages used in neonates, infants, children and adolescents were equivalent to those administered to adults on a weight basis. For pediatric patients with a body weight < 50 kg, an initial dose of 0.05 to 0.1 mg/kg as a rapid IV bolus is given either centrally or peripherally. A saline flush should follow. If conversion of [[PSVT]] does not occur within 1 to 2 minutes, additional bolus injections of adenosine can be administered at incrementally higher doses, increasing the amount given by 0.05 to 0.1 mg/kg. Follow each bolus with a saline flush. This process should continue until sinus rhythm is established or a maximum single dose of 0.3 mg/kg is used. For [[pediatric]] patients with a body weight ≥ 50 kg, administer the adult dose.


Doses greater than 12 mg are not recommended for adult and pediatric patients.

Adenosine is [[competitive antagonist|antagonized competitively]] by [[methylxanthine]]s such as [[caffeine]] and [[theophylline]], and potentiated by blockers of [[nucleoside]] transport such as [[dipyridamole]]. Adenosine is not blocked by [[atropine]].
<!--Drug Shortage Status-->
|structure=(Description with picture)
|PD=(Description)
|PK=[[Intravenous]]ly administered adenosine is rapidly cleared from the circulation via cellular uptake, primarily by [[erythrocyte]]s and vascular [[endothelial cell]]s. This process involves a specific [[transmembrane]] [[nucleoside]] carrier system that is reversible, nonconcentrative, and bidirectionally symmetrical. [[Intracellular]] adenosine is rapidly metabolized either via phosphorylation to [[adenosine monophosphate]] by [[adenosine kinase]], or via [[deamination]] to [[inosine]] by [[adenosine deaminase]] in the [[cytosol]]. Since [[adenosine kinase]] has a lower Km and Vmax than [[adenosine deaminase]], [[deamination]] plays a significant role only when [[cytosol]]ic adenosine saturates the [[phosphorylation]] pathway. [[Inosine]] formed by [[deamination]] of adenosine can leave the cell intact or can be degraded to [[hypoxanthine]], [[xanthine]], and ultimately [[uric acid]]. [[Adenosine monophosphate]] formed by [[phosphorylation]] of adenosine is incorporated into the high-energy [[phosphate]] pool. While [[extracellular]] adenosine is primarily cleared by cellular uptake with a [[half-life]] of less than 10 seconds in whole blood, excessive amounts may be [[deamination|deaminated]] by an ecto-form of [[adenosine deaminase]]. As adenosine requires no [[hepatic]] or [[renal]] function for its activation or inactivation, [[hepatic]] and [[renal]] failure would not be expected to alter its effectiveness or tolerability.
|nonClinToxic=Studies in animals have not been performed to evaluate the [[carcinogenic]] potential of adenosine. Adenosine was negative for [[genotoxic]] potential in the [[Salmonella]] ([[Ames test|Ames Test]]) and Mammalian [[Microsome]] [[Assay]].


Adenosine, however, like other [[nucleoside]]s at millimolar concentrations present for several doubling times of cells in [[culture]], is known to produce a variety of [[chromosomal]] alterations. [[Fertility]] studies in animals have not been conducted with adenosine.

|clinicalStudies======Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia=====
}}
In controlled studies in the United States, bolus doses of 3, 6, 9, and 12 mg were studied. A cumulative 60% of patients with [[paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia]] had converted to normal [[sinus rhythm]] within one minute after an [[intravenous]] bolus dose of 6 mg Adenosine (some converted on 3 mg and failures were given 6 mg), and a cumulative 92% converted after a bolus dose of 12 mg. Seven to sixteen percent of patients converted after 1-4 placebo bolus [[injection]]s. Similar responses were seen in a variety of patient subsets, including those using or not using [[digoxin]], those with [[WPW syndrome|Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome]], males, females, blacks, Caucasians, and Hispanics.


Adenosine is not effective in converting rhythms other than [[PSVT]], such as [[atrial flutter]], [[atrial fibrillation]], or [[ventricular tachycardia]], to normal [[sinus rhythm]].
