Isoproterenol is a beta-adrenoceptor agonist used to treat bronchospasm and cardiac arrhythmias. It dilates the bronchial tubes, aids breathing, and increases cardiac contractility and heart rate. Isoproterenol is usually administered via nebulized inhalation, but it can also be given intravenously. When using isoproterenol, you should follow your doctor's recommendations and dosage and avoid adjusting the dosage on your own. Possible side effects include heart palpitations, headache, tremors, and high blood pressure. If serious adverse reactions occur, such as chest pain or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention immediately. In Hong Kong, isoproterenol is a prescription drug and must be used under the guidance of a doctor. Ask your doctor to learn more about isoproterenol.
How to use: The drug is given in the form of an injection and needs to be administered by a professional medical staff in a medical facility. Before use, make sure the solution is free of clouds or foreign matter, and avoid cloudy or discolored solutions. When injecting, you should strictly follow the doctor's instructions and follow disinfection procedures. There is no need to take it with a meal, but excessive use should be avoided.
Dosage guidance: The starting dose for adults is 0.5 to 1 microgram/minute each time, which can be adjusted to 1 to 10 micrograms/minute each time according to the severity of the disease, but the total dose should not exceed 40 micrograms/minute. For children, the starting dose should be calculated based on body weight, usually 0.05 to 0.1 micrograms/minute per kilogram of body weight, with a maximum dose not to exceed 0.5 micrograms/kg per minute. Dose adjustment should be based on patient response and physiological conditions, and it is recommended to make adjustments under the guidance of a physician. The patient's vital signs should be closely monitored during use to ensure safe and effective treatment.

Isoproterenol should be avoided during pregnancy. This drug may have adverse effects on the fetus, including developmental problems with the heart and nervous system. Always tell your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Your doctor may recommend that you stop using isoproterenol or adjust your treatment to ensure the health of you and your baby. Follow your doctor's advice and do not stop medication or change the dosage on your own. If you need other treatments during pregnancy, talk with your doctor about the options that are right for you. Pregnancy is a special time, and although medications may be beneficial to your health, extra care is needed during this time to ensure the safety of mother and baby.
