About this active substance

Regadenoson is a selective adenosine A2A receptor agonist used in myocardial stress testing to evaluate myocardial perfusion in patients with suspected coronary artery disease. It works by dilating coronary arteries, increasing blood flow to the myocardium.

The medication is administered intravenously, as directed by a doctor, usually during the stress test. It is important for patients to inform the doctor about any other medications being used or pre-existing conditions.

Patients should be aware of potential side effects, such as headaches, dizziness, or nausea. It is important to inform the doctor of any unusual symptoms.

Common side effects include headaches, dizziness, and nausea. In rare cases, severe reactions such as cardiac arrhythmias or allergic reactions may occur. Patients should be informed of these risks before use.
