Indications

Inosine Injection is indicated for use in patients with conditions that require increased oxygen consumption. These include states of exhaustion, intense physical activity, recovery after illness or surgery, and certain heart conditions. It provides the body with the necessary components to produce energy and improve overall metabolism.

Contraindications

Inosine Injection is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to Inosine or any other components of the solution. It should not be used in patients with gout or high levels of uric acid in the blood, as Inosine may increase these levels. Pregnancy and lactation are also contraindications. The safety and efficacy of Inosine Injection in children have not been established.

Dosage and Administration

Inosine Injection is administered intravenously. The dosage and duration of the treatment depend on the patient’s condition and response to therapy. Typically, the recommended dose is 1 ampoule (400 mg) daily. The maximum daily dose should not exceed 2 ampoules (800 mg). The injection should be administered slowly, over a period of 10-15 minutes to prevent adverse reactions.

If any of these symptoms occur, seek medical attention immediately.
