Drug introduction

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter used in cardiovascular emergencies such as shock or cardiac arrest. It increases blood pressure by increasing cardiac contractility and cardiac output. In Hong Kong, dopamine is usually given via intravenous injection, and the dosage is usually based on the patient's specific condition and doctor's advice. Using dopamine may cause some side effects, including cardiac arrhythmias, high blood pressure, headaches, and nausea. While taking dopamine, patients should be monitored regularly to ensure safety and effectiveness. If you develop any unusual symptoms or side effects, tell your doctor immediately. Dopamine may interact with other medications, so your doctor should be informed about your current medication before using other medications. Follow your doctor's advice and instructions and do not change your dopamine dosage or dosage on your own.

Dosage

HOW TO USE: DOPAMINE is an injectable medication that is given by a health care professional in a medical facility. It is usually given intravenously and the rate should be adjusted according to the doctor's instructions. During use, the patient's vital signs such as blood pressure and heart rate should be closely monitored. DOPAMINE usually does not need to be taken with food, but patients should avoid tyramine-containing foods, such as cheese and chocolate, to avoid affecting the effectiveness of the drug.

Dosage Guidelines: The dosage of DOPAMINE will be based on the patient's specific condition and needs. In general, the starting dose for adults is 2 to 5 micrograms/kg body weight per minute, which can be adjusted according to the patient's response. The maximum dose should not exceed 20 to 50 micrograms/kg body weight per minute. For children, the dose needs to be determined based on age and weight, and the starting dose is generally lower and needs to be adjusted carefully to ensure safety and effectiveness. In any case, you should strictly follow the doctor's instructions and do not adjust the dosage or stop using it on your own.

side effect

DOPAMINE is a commonly used drug that is mainly used to increase the contractility of the heart and increase blood pressure. However, its side effects include fast heartbeat, irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure and dizziness. Some patients may experience nausea, vomiting and headache. Long-term use of DOPAMINE may cause increased heart burden, so doctors usually monitor the patient's condition and adjust the drug dosage.
