Adenosine Injection is a medication form of adenosine that is used primarily in emergency and hospital settings to treat certain types of abnormal heart rhythms.
Uses
The primary use of adenosine injection is to treat paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT).
- PSVT is a rapid heart rhythm originating above the ventricles (the heart's lower chambers).
- Adenosine can help restore normal sinus rhythm in these cases.
It is not effective against other types of abnormal heart rhythms, such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, or ventricular tachycardia.
Adenosine Injection 3 mg/mL, 2 mL Single Dose Vials is a leading emergency cardiac medication designed for rapid intravenous use. Trusted by hospitals and emergency medical teams, adenosine is clinically proven for the rapid conversion of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) to normal sinus rhythm, including cases associated with accessory bypass tracts (Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome). This antiarrhythmic injection provides safe, effective support in critical arrhythmia management and acute cardiac care.
How Does It Work?
- Adenosine slows conduction through the atrioventricular (AV) node of the heart.
- This momentarily stops the electrical conduction in the heart, which can terminate the abnormal rhythm and restore normal rhythm.
How is it Administered?
- Given by rapid intravenous (IV) bolus injection.
- The patient should ideally be connected to a cardiac monitor before administration, as the medication acts within seconds and can temporarily stop the heart before normal rhythm resumes.
Key Benefits
- Immediate SVT Termination: Adenosine is the first-line medication for rapid control of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT), restoring normal heart rhythm within seconds.
- Emergency Cardiac Care: Essential for Code Blue carts and advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) protocols.
- High Purity, Reliable Dosing: Each unit contains 6 mg (3 mg/mL in 2 mL vials) for predictable, standardized administration.
- User-Friendly Packaging: Single-use, ready-to-inject vials ensure sterility and speed when seconds count.
- Trusted Quality: Manufactured by Sagent Pharmaceuticals—FDA approved, adhering to highest safety and manufacturing standards.

Safety & Precautions
- Side Effects: Common effects include transient flushing, chest discomfort, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, or brief asystole (expected and resolves rapidly). Rarely, severe allergic reactions or prolonged arrhythmias may occur.
- Contraindications: Do not use in patients with 2nd or 3rd degree AV block, sick sinus syndrome (unless patient has a functioning artificial pacemaker), or known hypersensitivity to adenosine.
- Special Populations: Use with caution in patients with asthma, as bronchospasm may occur.
- Drug Interactions: May interact with dipyridamole, carbamazepine, caffeine, theophylline. Inform your care team of all medications.
