<p><strong>Adult</strong>:</p>

<ul>
	<li>Initial dose: 6 mg given as rapid IV bolus (administered over 1-2 second period).</li>
	<li>Repeat administration: If the first dose does not result in elimination of the supraventricular tachycardia within 1-2 minutes, 12 mg should be given as rapid intravenous bolus. This 12 mg dose may be repeated for second time if required.</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Pediatric</strong>: The dosages used in neonates, infants, children and adolescents were equivalent to those administered to adults on a weight basis.</p>

<ul>
	<li>Body weight &lt; 50 kg: Initial dose - 0.05 to 0.1 mg/kg as a rapid IV bolus given either centrally or peripherally. A saline flush should follow.</li>
	<li>Body weight &gt; 50 kg: The adult dose is recommended. Doses greater than 12 mg are not recommended for adult and pediatric patients.</li>
</ul>

<p>Repeat administration: If conversion of PSVT does not occur within 1-2 minutes, additional bolus injections of adenosine can be administered at incrementally higher doses, increasing the amount given by 0.05 to 0.1 mg/kg. A saline flush should follow. This process should continue until sinus rhythm is established or a maximum single dose of 0.3 mg/kg is used.</p>
