Adenosine + Cytochrome-C + Sodium Succinate + Nicotinamide interactions

• coffee

  Moderate

  Antagonism

  Caffeine and other xanthine derivatives (e.g., theophylline) are nonspecific, competitive antagonists of adenosine receptors and may interfere with the hemodynamic effects of adenosine.

  What to do: Clinicians should be aware that adenosine may be less effective in the presence of xanthine derivatives including caffeine. Patients should avoid consumption of caffeine-containing products for at least 12 hours, preferably 24 hours, prior to administration of adenosine for myocardial perfusion imaging.

• Arrhythmias, Cardiac

  Major

  Antiarrhythmic agents can induce or worsen ventricular arrhythmias. Ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and torsades de pointes have occurred in some patients. Patients with underlying cardiac dysfunction, bradycardia, hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, or high antiarrhythmic serum concentrations are at increased risk for drug-induced arrhythmias. Therapy with antiarrhythmics should be used with extreme caution in patients with or predisposed to arrhythmias. Evidence of improved survival is lacking for use of antiarrhythmic therapy in asymptomatic, non-life-threatening arrhythmias. Therapy with antiarrhythmic agents should be reserved for patients with life-threatening arrhythmias.

• Cardiomyopathies

  Major

  Antiarrhythmic agents can induce severe hypotension (particularly with IV administration) or induce or worsen congestive heart failure (CHF). Patients with primary cardiomyopathy or inadequately compensated CHF are at increased risk. Antiarrhythmic agents should be administered cautiously and dosage and/or frequency of administration modified in patients with hypotension or adequately compensated CHF. Alternative therapy should be considered unless these conditions are secondary to cardiac arrhythmia.

• Asthma

  Moderate

  Adenosine induces mast cell degranulation and histamine release. Bronchoconstriction has been reported in patients with asthma during therapy with adenosine. Therapy with adenosine should be administered cautiously in patients with obstructive lung disease not associated with bronchoconstriction (emphysema or bronchitis) and should be avoided in patients with bronchoconstriction or bronchospasm (asthma).
