INTRAVENOUS
PRESCRIPTION DRUG
Diltiazem hydrochloride injection is indicated for the following: 1.Atrial Fibrillation or Atrial Flutter. Temporary control of rapid ventricular rate in atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. It should not be used in patients with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter associated with an accessory bypass tract such as in Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome or short PR syndrome. 2.Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia. Rapid conversion of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardias (PSVT) to sinus rhythm. This includes AV nodal reentrant tachycardias and reciprocating tachycardias associated with an extranodal accessory pathway such as the WPW syndrome or short PR syndrome. Unless otherwise contraindicated, appropriate vagal maneuvers should be attempted prior to administration of diltiazem hydrochloride injection. The use of diltiazem hydrochloride injection for control of ventricular response in patients with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter or conversion to sinus rhythm in patients with PSVT should b

DILTIAZEM HYDROCHLORIDE- DILTIAZEM HYDROCHLORIDE INJECTION AKORN, INC. ---------- DILTIAZEM HYDROCHLORIDE INJECTION, 0.5% (5 MG/ML) Rx only DESCRIPTION: Diltiazem hydrochloride injection is a calcium ion influx inhibitor (slow channel blocker or calcium channel antagonist). Chemically diltiazem hydrochloride is 1,5-benzothiazepin-4(5_H_)one,3-(acetyloxy)- 5-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]- 2, 3-dihydro-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-, monohydrochloride, (+)-_cis_-. The structural formula is: The molecular formula is C H N O S•HCl Diltiazem hydrochloride is a white to off-white crystalline powder with a bitter taste. It is soluble in water, methanol, and chloroform. It has a molecular weight of 450.99. Diltiazem hydrochloride injection is a clear, colorless, sterile, nonpyrogenic solution. It has a pH range of 3.7 to 4.1. Diltiazem hydrochloride injection is for direct intravenous bolus injection and continuous intravenous infusion. EACH ML CONTAINS: ACTIVE: 5 mg Diltiazem Hydrochloride. INACTIVES: 0.75 mg Citric Acid USP, 0.65 mg Sodium Citrate Dihydrate USP, 71.4 mg Sorbitol Solution USP, and Water for Injection USP up to 1 mL, Sodium Hydroxide and/or Hydrochloric Acid are used for pH adjustment. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY MECHANISMS OF ACTION Diltiazem inhibits the influx of calcium (Ca ) ions during membrane depolarization of cardiac and vascular smooth muscle. The therapeutic benefits of diltiazem in supraventricular tachycardias are related to its ability to slow AV nodal conduction time and prolong AV nodal refractoriness. Diltiazem exhibits frequency (use) dependent effects on AV nodal conduction such that it may selectively reduce the heart rate during tachycardias involving the AV node with little or no effect on normal AV nodal conduction at normal heart rates. Diltiazem slows the ventricular rate in patients with a rapid ventricular response during atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. Diltiazem converts paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) to normal sinus rhythm by interrupting the reentry circuit in AV nodal r اقرأ الوثيقة كاملة
