milrinone<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Corotropic is a drug used to increase cardiac output (the work of the heart). The active substance is called milrinone. It is a substance with properties that increase the power of the heart to contract and dilate the blood vessels.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Corotrop can be used in adults for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Corotrop can be used in children for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Corotrop is used, constant monitoring of heart function and blood pressure is required.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Milrinone contained in Corotrop may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this product information. Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or another healthcare professional if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Corotrop:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to what is mentioned under Warnings and precautions for adults, the following should be considered: Before giving Corotrop injection, your doctor will check several parameters such as heart rate and blood pressure. He\/she will also prescribe blood sampling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Injection one should not be started if your child’s heart rate or blood pressure is not stable.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tell your doctor about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elderly patients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There are no special dosing recommendations for the elderly. Controlled pharmacokinetic studies to date have not shown any age-dependent effect on the distribution and\/or secretion of milrinone, the active substance in Corotrop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When Corotrop is given at the same time as heart-strengthening medicines (ie which increase the power of the heart’s contractions, eg dobutamine ), Corotrop can increase heart-strengthening (positive inotropic) effect of these medicines and vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are no clinical data on the use of milrinone in pregnant women. Animal studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to pregnancy, prenatal development (ie before birth), childbirth, or postnatal development (ie after birth).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use during pregnancy should be done with caution. As it is unknown whether milrinone is excreted in human milk, breast-feeding must be discontinued during treatment. If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is no experience available regarding adverse effects on the ability to drive or use machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires increased vigilance. One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or side effects. Descriptions of these effects and side effects can be found in other sections. Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. Corotropic injection is used in hospitals as an intravenous injection\/infusion. Dosage one is determined and adjusted individually by the doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Drops in blood pressure and rapid heartbeat can occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In case of overdose, your doctor will stop the infusion or reduce the infusion rate and possibly start other appropriate treatments. There is no known specific antidote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your doctor or nurse has instructions on when to get your medicine. It is unlikely that you will not receive the medicine listed. However, if you think you have missed a dose, tell your doctor or nurse. If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor or nurse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Common (may affect up to 1 in 10 people):<\/em> Headache, fainting ( syncope ). Palpitations, arrhythmias, low blood pressure ( hypotension ), heart failure. Uncommon (may affect up to 1 in 100 people):<\/em> Decreased platelet count. Low potassium levels. Tremors. Heart fibrillation. Severe chest pain, often with tightness over the chest and difficulty breathing. Nausea, vomiting. Impaired liver values \u200b\u200bas a result of impaired liver function. Very rare (may affect up to 1 in 10,000 people):<\/em> Allergic (anaphylactic) shock. A particularly dangerous form of palpitations ( torsade de points ). Spasmodic contractions in the trachea. Rash. Has been reported (occurs in an unknown number of users):<\/em> Reduction of red blood cells and\/or hemoglobin concentration (blood pigment). Bleeding in fluid-filled areas (ventricles) surrounded by the brain ( intraventricular hemorrhage). Renal failure at simultaneously low blood pressure ( hypotension ). Reactions at the infusion site. Life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias have occurred in patients with previously irregular heartbeat and\/or metabolic disorders (low potassium levels) and\/or high levels of digitalis (a heart drug). Additional side effects are in children<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to the side effects reported in adults, the following have been reported in children:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Has been reported<\/em> ( occurs in an unknown number of users<\/em> ): A heart problem called open ductus arteriosus: a connection between two large blood vessels (the carotid artery and the pulmonary artery) that remain but should be closed. This can cause excess fluid in the lungs, bleeding, destruction of the intestine or parts of the intestine and can be fatal. In addition to adults, a decrease in the number of platelets in the blood seems to occur more often in children, and the risk of this side effect increases with the infusion time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cardiac arrhythmias appear to occur less frequently in children than in adults. Reporting of side effects<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse. This includes any possible side effects not listed in this leaflet.
