Adenosine is primarily used to diagnose and treat certain heart conditions, including:
- Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT): A type of rapid heart rhythm that originates in the upper chambers of the heart.
- Atrial fibrillation (AFib): A type of irregular heartbeat that can lead to blood clots and stroke.
Adenoz 6mg/2ml Inj (Adenosine) works by slowing down the electrical impulses in the heart, which can help to restore a normal heart rhythm. It does this by activating adenosine receptors in the heart, causing the heart to slow down and relax.
