Adenocor is a medication that helps to slow fast or uneven heartbeats called ‘arrhythmia’. This is done by reducing the electrical impulses between the upper and lower chambers of the heart.
How is Adenocor used?
Adenocor is primarily administered in the hospital alone, where facilities exist for cardiac monitoring. It is advised that facilities that do not have monitoring and cardiorespiratory resuscitation equipment should refer patients elsewhere.
When is Adenocor Solution used?
This medication is used to restore heartbeat rate back to normal. It is commonly used in patients with a type of arrhythmia called ‘paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT)’ or ‘Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome’. It is also used to help doctors find out the type of uneven heartbeat (arrhythmia) that a patient has.
How do you give Adenocor?
Adenocor is administered by rapid intravenous (IV) injection into a vein or into an IV line. It should be followed by a rapid saline flush.
