Adenosine 30mg/10ml Solution for Infusion (called Adenosine Solution for Infusion throughout the rest of this leaflet) belongs to a group of medicines called coronary vasodilators.
Adenosine Solution for Infusion is given with other medicines, called radionuclides, during a diagnostic test, called myocardial perfusion imaging, to open up your heart’s blood vessels to allow your blood to flow more freely. Once in your blood, the radionuclide allows the doctor or nurse to see your heart and assess your heart condition.
This medicine is for diagnostic use only and is used if you are incapable of exercise. You will usually be in hospital when you receive this medicine.
Tell your doctor or nurse if any of the following apply to you:
