This drug has to be administered in an ER or by an EMT, since it is introvenous injection. Works instantly.

Woke up at 2AM with SVT. Drove myself to ER. They hit me with adenosine and almost instantly my heart rate was down to 70 BPM. As a side note, I was informed by my cardiologist, when that happens, if you bear down like you're taking a bowel movement and hold it, it can stop the SVT. And by golly, I had to try it once and it worked! Saved a trip to the ER.

Heart started racing out of nowhere? Husband took me to the ER. BPM's were over 200. And, I am 29 weeks pregnant. When they gave me the Adenosine in my IV, it was a matter of seconds. You felt a funny feeling through your body for about 15 seconds. Other than that, it definitely worked for me!!

I received this drug IV in an ER dept when I noted to have a very high, pounding heartrate.

I received this drug IV in an ER dept when I noted to have a very high, pounding heartrate. My pulse when I got to the ER dept was 158bpm and it was causing me to have chest pressure, dizziness, and short of breath. I had never experienced this before and I am a healthy 30 year old female. When the vasovagal maneuvers didn't work they had to give me 3 doses of Adensoine and it gave me the worst chest pain/tightness, and I felt like I couldn't breathe. Unfortunately, it only dropped my heartrate to 80bpm for only 2 minutes and it shot back up again. I had to have cardioversion and that was also unpleasant but I was asleep and don't really remember it all. I still haven't found out why my heartrate was so high and I certainly hope I never have to experience it again.

I received this drug via IV in the ER. Heart was 160 beats per minute. Worked very quickly less than 10 seconds rhythm fell to 100 bpm. It felt as if I was in an elevator going down fast. I did not have any reactions afterwards.
