Release form

It is produced in the form of an injection solution – vials No. 6 with a volume of 2 ml (6 mg).

Pharmacodynamics

The drug has an antiarrhythmic effect (mainly in the development of supraventricular tachyarrhythmias). Reduces the speed of AV conduction and the automaticity of the sinus node, increases the refractoriness of the AV node, and is also able to interrupt the re-entry mechanism in the AV node. It has vasodilatory and coronary dilating properties. In some cases (often due to slow intravenous infusion) it can cause a decrease in blood pressure. It is believed that most of the effects of the drug occur due to the activation of specific adenosine receptors. The drug begins to affect the body immediately.
