Dosage of dopamine

Dopamine is a hormone secreted by the human body. It is a substance secreted by both men and women when they see someone they like. It is one of the factors that promote mutual attraction between the two parties. Dopamine in the human body can relieve diseases such as myocardial infarction and renal failure, and its secretion level is not high. If the dopamine secretion in our body is too low, we will lose interest in the opposite sex and suffer from heart failure.

effect

[Indications] It is suitable for shock syndrome caused by myocardial infarction, trauma, endotoxin sepsis, cardiac surgery, renal failure, congestive heart failure, etc.; for patients whose shock cannot be corrected after blood volume supplementation, especially those with oliguria and normal or low peripheral vascular resistance. Since this product can increase cardiac output, it is also used for heart failure where digitalis and diuretics are ineffective.

Directions

[Usage and Dosage] The usual dose for adults is intravenous injection, initially 1-5ug/kg per minute based on body weight, and then gradually increased at a rate of 1-4ug/kg per minute within 10 minutes to achieve maximum therapeutic effect. For chronic refractory heart failure, when starting intravenous drip, gradually increase the dosage by 0.5-2ug/kg body weight per minute. For most patients, 1-3ug/kg/min is sufficient to achieve efficacy. For patients with occlusive vascular disease, the intravenous drip should be started at 1ug/kg/min, gradually increased to 5-10ug/kg/min, and finally to 20ug/kg/min to achieve the most satisfactory effect. In critical cases, first drip at 5ug/kg/min, then increase by 5-10ug/kg/min to 20-50ug/kg/min to achieve a satisfactory effect. Or add 20 mg of this product to 200-300 ml of 5% glucose injection and drip intravenously.

[Adverse Reactions] Common adverse reactions include chest pain, dyspnea, palpitations, arrhythmia (especially with large doses), and general weakness; slow heartbeat, headache, nausea and vomiting are rare. Long-term use of high or low doses in patients with peripheral vascular disease may cause reactions such as pain or cold hands and feet; prolonged contraction of peripheral blood vessels may lead to local necrosis or gangrene; overdose may cause high blood pressure, at which time the drug should be discontinued and alpha-receptor blockers should be given if necessary.
