Drug introduction

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.

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.
