Description

Adenosine, Preservative Free Injection at a concentration of 3 mg/mL in a 2 mL vial, is a medication primarily used in cardiac care to diagnose and treat certain heart rhythm disturbances, particularly supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). This sterile solution is free from preservatives, ensuring its suitability for direct injection into the bloodstream without the risk of additional chemical compounds that could potentially cause adverse reactions.

As a nucleoside medication, adenosine works by slowing down electrical conduction in the heart, particularly through the atrioventricular (AV) node, which helps restore normal sinus rhythm during episodes of rapid heart rates associated with SVT.

The 2 mL vial presentation provides a single-dose format, emphasizing the importance of precise dosing in critical care settings. Healthcare professionals administer adenosine intravenously, typically as a rapid bolus followed by a saline flush to ensure rapid delivery and efficacy.

Storage instructions recommend protecting adenosine from light and storing it at controlled room temperatures to maintain its stability and potency. These measures help ensure that the medication remains effective and ready for use in urgent medical situations where cardiac rhythm management is paramount.
