INTRODUCTION
CARNOSIN
contains Adenosine which belongs to the group of medicines called
Antiarrhythmics agents. It is used to manage arrhythmia (irregular
heartbeat) in both adults and in children. It helps in bringing back the
heartbeat to normal in case of a heart condition called paroxysmal
supraventricular tachycardia or Wolff Parkinson-White Syndrome (fast
heart rate caused due to abnormal electrical signals in the heart
chambers). It can also be used to diagnose certain heart problems (such
as the type of arrhythmia) during cardiac stress testing.
Before
receiving CARNOSIN inform your doctor if you have any other heart
problems other than arrhythmia (such as high or low blood pressure,
prolonged QT interval, inflammation of heart lining, fluid build-up in
heart, history of heart attack or heart transplantation surgery). You
must also inform your doctor if you have low blood volume, epilepsy or
any breathing difficulties such as asthma.
Consult your doctor
before receiving CARNOSIN if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. During
management with CARNOSIN your doctor will closely monitor your heart
functions to avoid any unwanted side effects. Avoid consuming tea,
coffee or cola at least for 12 hours before receiving CARNOSIN.
The
common side effects of receiving CARNOSIN are nausea, dizziness,
numbness, flushing or warmth and difficulty in breathing. Consult your
doctor if any of these side effects trouble you.
USES OF CARNOSIN
- Manages arrhythmia (such as paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) or Wolf-Parkinson-White Syndrome)
- Diagnoses certain heart problems (arrhythmia types) during cardiac stress testing
HOW CARNOSIN WORKS
CARNOSIN
is an anti-arrhythmic medicine. It regulates the heart rate by blocking
the generation of abnormal electrical signals in the heart. This
normalizes your heart rate which therefore provides relief from the
unpleasant symptoms of arrhythmia.
When used during stress
testing, CARNOSIN improves blood supply to the heart by dilating the
coronary arteries. This simulates an effect of a physical exercise (such
as walking on a treadmill) in patients, which would help in diagnosing
the problems with their heart functions.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
CARNOSIN
will be given to you only by a doctor or a nurse into the vein as an
intravenous injection. Your doctor will decide the correct dose,
duration of therapy and frequency of administration depending upon your
age, body weight and health condition.
