Active ingredient Adenine Deoxy Nucleoside is contraindicated in the following cases:
Dipyridamole inhibits adenosine cellular uptake and metabolism, and potentiates the action of adenosine. In one study dipyridamole was shown to produce a 4 fold increase in adenosine actions. Asystole has been reported following concomitant administration.
It is therefore suggested that adenosine should not be administered to patients receiving dipyridamole; if use of adenosine is essential, dipyridamole should be stopped 24 hours before hand, or the dose of adenosine should be greatly reduced.
Adenosine is contraindicated for patients presenting chronic obstructive lung disease with evidence of bronchospasm (e.g. asthma bronchiale).
Adenosine is contraindicated for patients presenting second or third degree Atrio-Ventricular (AV) block (except in patients with a functioning artificial pacemaker).
Adenosine is contraindicated for patients presenting sick sinus syndrome (except in patients with a functioning artificial pacemaker).
Adenosine is contraindicated for patients presenting decompensated states of heart failure.
Adenosine is contraindicated for patients presenting severe hypotension.
Adenosine is contraindicated for patients presenting long QT syndrome.
