PRODUCT MONOGRAPH PR MILRINONE LACTATE INJECTION USP SOLUTION, 1 MG MILRINONE / ML, INTRAVENOUS Inotrope / Vasodilator Marcan Pharmaceuticals Inc. Date of Preparation: October 14, 2021 2 Gurdwara Road, Suite #112 Ottawa, ON K2E 1A2 Control No.: 236960 Milrinone Lactate Injection USP 2 PR MILRINONE LACTATE INJECTION USP 1 mg milrinone / mL Inotrope/Vasodilator ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Milrinone is a positive inotrope and vasodilator, with little chronotropic activity, different in structure and mode of action from either the digitalis glycosides or catecholamines. Milrinone, at relevant inotropic and vasorelaxant concentrations, is a selective inhibitor of peak III cAMP phosphodiesterase isozyme in cardiac and vascular muscle. This inhibitory action is consistent with cAMP-mediated increases in intracellular ionized calcium and contractile force in cardiac muscle, as well as with cAMP-dependent contractile protein phosphorylation and relaxation in vascular muscle. Additional experimental evidence also indicates that it is not a beta- adrenergic agonist, nor does it inhibit sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase activity as do the digitalis glycosides. Clinical studies in patients with congestive heart failure have shown that milrinone produces dose and plasma level-related increase in left ventricular dP/dt, increase in forearm blood flow indicating a direct arterial vasodilator activity of the drug, and improves diastolic function as evidenced by improvement in left ventricular diastolic relaxation. Studies in normal subjects have shown that milrinone produces increases in the slope of the left ventricular pressure-dimension relationship, indicating a direct inotropic effect of the drug. Both the inotropic and vasodilatory effects have been observed over the therapeutic range of milrinone plasma concentrations of 100 - 300 ng/mL. PHARMACOKINETICS Following intravenous loading injections of 12.5 to 125 mcg/kg to congestive heart failure patients, intravenous milrinone had a volume of distribution of 0.3 Læs hele dokumentet
