Contraindications
BREVIBLOC (Esmolol Hydrochloride) is contraindicated in patients with:
- Severe sinus bradycardia: May precipitate or worsen bradycardia resulting in cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest.
- Heart block greater than first degree: Second- or third-degree atrioventricular block may precipitate or worsen bradycardia resulting in cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest.
- Sick sinus syndrome: May precipitate or worsen bradycardia resulting in cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest
- Decompensated heart failure: May worsen heart failure
- Cardiogenic shock: May precipitate further cardiovascular collapse and cause cardiac arrest
- IV administration of cardiodepressant calcium-channel antagonists (e.g., verapamil) and BREVIBLOC in close proximity (i.e., while cardiac effects from the other are still present); fatal cardiac arrests have occurred in patients receiving BREVIBLOC and intravenous verapamil
- Pulmonary hypertension: May precipitate cardiorespiratory compromise.
- Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, to esmolol or any of the inactive ingredients of the product (cross-sensitivity between beta blockers is possible).[1]
