4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
_Surgery_
Nitrocine is indicated for:
1.
The rapid control of hypertension during cardiac surgery.
2.
Reducing blood pressure and maintaining controlled hypotension during
surgical procedures.
3.
Controlling myocardial ischaemia during and after cardiovascular
surgery.
_Unresponsive congestive heart failure:_
Nitrocine may be used to treat unresponsive congestive heart failure
secondary to acute myocardial infarction.
_Unstable angina:_
Nitrocine may be used to treat unstable angina which is refractory to
treatment with beta blockers and sublingual nitrates.
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
_Adults _
The dose of Nitrocine should be adjusted to meet the individual needs
of the patient.
The recommended dosage range is 10 - 200 mcg/min but up to 400 mcg/min
may be necessary during some surgical
procedures.
_Elderly_
There is no evidence that a posology adjustment is required in the
elderly.
_Paediatric population_
The safety and efficacy of Nitrocine has not yet been established in
children.
_Surgery_:
A starting dose of 25 mcg/min is recommended for the control of
hypertension, or to produce hypotension during surgery.
This may be increased by increments of 25 mcg/min at 5 minute
intervals until the blood pressure is stabilized. Doses between
10 - 200 mcg/min are usually sufficient during surgery, although doses
of up to 400 mcg/min have been required in some
cases.
The treatment of perioperative myocardial ischaemia may be started
with a dose of 15 - 20 mcg/min, with subsequent
increments of 10 - 15 mcg/m
