Isoprenaline Macure (Isoprenaline Hydrochloride)

Isoprenaline, the active ingredient in Isoprenaline Macure, is a beta‑adrenergic agonist presented as an injectable solution for intravenous use. It is employed to increase heart rate and contractility in bradyarrhythmias and to provide bronchodilation in severe bronchospasm, typically in acute care settings.

GNH India supplies Isoprenaline Macure as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, transplant centres, oncology centres, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Indications & Clinical Uses

Isoprenaline acts on the beta‑adrenergic system and is indicated for several acute cardiac and respiratory conditions.

  • Bradycardia: restores adequate heart rate by stimulating cardiac beta‑1 receptors.
  • Heart block: improves conduction through the atrioventricular node by increasing impulse speed.
  • Asystole: provides temporary cardiac stimulation while definitive resuscitation measures are applied.
  • Bronchospasm: relaxes airway smooth muscle to relieve severe bronchoconstriction.

How It Works

  • Isoprenaline is a non‑selective beta‑adrenergic receptor agonist that binds to both β1 and β2 receptors. Activation of β1 receptors in the myocardium raises intracellular cyclic AMP, enhancing calcium influx and thereby increasing heart rate (positive chronotropy) and contractile force (positive inotropy). Stimulation of β2 receptors in bronchial smooth muscle also raises cAMP, causing relaxation and bronchodilation.

Side Effects

Isoprenaline may produce a range of adverse reactions, varying from mild to severe.

Common Side Effects

  • Tachycardia: excessive increase in heart rate.
  • Palpitations: sensation of rapid or irregular heartbeat.
  • Tremor: fine muscle shaking, especially in the hands.
  • Headache: mild to moderate cranial pain.
  • Nausea: feeling of queasiness or urge to vomit.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Arrhythmias: potentially life‑threatening irregular heart rhythms.
  • Myocardial ischemia: reduced blood flow to heart muscle causing chest pain.
  • Severe hypotension: marked drop in blood pressure leading to dizziness or collapse.
  • Pulmonary edema: fluid accumulation in lungs causing respiratory distress.

Precautions & Warnings

When using Isoprenaline, clinicians should observe several safety measures to minimize risk.

  • Cardiac monitoring: continuous ECG and blood pressure observation during infusion.
  • Dose titration: adjust infusion rate gradually based on hemodynamic response.
  • Contraindications: avoid in patients with uncontrolled ventricular tachyarrhythmias or severe coronary artery disease.
  • Drug interactions: review concomitant use of other sympathomimetics or anti‑arrhythmic agents.
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep in original container, protect from light and moisture, and do not freeze.

Avoid Interactions

Isoprenaline can interact with other medications, altering its efficacy or safety profile.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Beta‑blockers: may blunt the cardiovascular effects of Isoprenaline.
  • Calcium channel blockers (non‑dihydropyridine): increase risk of severe bradycardia or heart block.
  • Monoamine oxidase inhibitors: can potentiate hypertensive responses.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Diuretics: may exacerbate electrolyte imbalances affecting cardiac rhythm.
  • Anticholinergic agents: can enhance tachycardia.
  • Inhaled bronchodilators: additive bronchodilatory effect may cause excessive tachycardia.

Frequently Asked Questions

Isoprenaline Macure is used in acute medical settings to treat severe bradycardia, various forms of heart block, cardiac arrest states such as asystole, and life‑threatening bronchospasm. By stimulating beta‑adrenergic receptors, it helps raise heart rate, improve cardiac output, and relax airway smooth muscle, providing temporary physiological support until definitive therapy can be instituted.

Isoprenaline is a non‑selective beta‑adrenergic agonist. It binds to β1 receptors in the heart, increasing cyclic AMP and calcium influx, which accelerates heart rate and contractility. Simultaneously, activation of β2 receptors in bronchial smooth muscle raises cyclic AMP, causing muscle relaxation and bronchodilation. This dual action makes it valuable for both cardiac and respiratory emergencies.

The dose of Isoprenaline Macure is individualized by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s condition, weight, and response. It is typically administered as an intravenous infusion that is titrated to achieve the desired heart‑rate or bronchodilatory effect, with careful monitoring of vital signs throughout the infusion.

Safety data for Isoprenaline in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used when the potential benefit to the mother outweighs any possible risk to the fetus or infant. Clinicians must evaluate each case carefully and discuss potential risks with the patient before initiating therapy.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifying trade or institutional credentials before providing pricing, availability, shipping details (including cold‑chain if required), and necessary import documentation.

The primary alternatives are other beta‑agonists such as dobutamine or epinephrine. Compared with dobutamine, Isoprenaline has a stronger β2 effect, leading to more pronounced bronchodilation but also a higher risk of tachyarrhythmias. Epinephrine provides both alpha and beta stimulation, which can raise blood pressure, whereas Isoprenaline primarily increases heart rate and contractility without significant vasoconstriction.

Isoprenaline Macure should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Protect the product from light, moisture, and extreme temperatures. Do not freeze the solution. Before use, inspect the vial for particulate matter or discoloration and follow aseptic techniques for preparation and administration.

Isoprenaline Macure is administered intravenously by a qualified healthcare professional. The solution is typically diluted in a compatible carrier fluid and infused via a controlled infusion pump. Dosage is titrated to achieve the desired clinical effect while continuously monitoring heart rhythm, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation.

The most critical risks include life‑threatening arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia, myocardial ischemia due to increased cardiac workload, severe hypotension, and pulmonary edema. Prompt recognition and immediate intervention are essential, and continuous cardiac monitoring is mandatory throughout therapy.

Isoprenaline is contraindicated in patients with uncontrolled ventricular tachyarrhythmias, severe coronary artery disease, recent myocardial infarction, or known hypersensitivity to the drug or its excipients. Caution is also advised in individuals with hyperthyroidism, severe hypertension, or those receiving other potent sympathomimetic agents.
