Adenosine and Ventricular tachycardia - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Ventricular tachycardia is reported as a side effect among people who take Adenosine (adenosine), especially for people who are male, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for < 1 month also take Lidocaine, and have Arrhythmias.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Ventricular tachycardia when taking Adenosine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 2,699 people who have side effects when taking Adenosine from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Adenosine?

Adenosine has active ingredients of adenosine. eHealthMe is studying from 2,711 Adenosine users. Check the latest studies of Adenosine.
