DOTAMIN INJ 5ML

About

Dotamin 5ML Injection contains Dobutamine as its active ingredient, an inotropic agent that enhances the strength of the heart’s contractions. It helps the heart pump more effectively, improving blood flow throughout the body and dilating blood vessels. This leads to an increase in cardiac output, particularly in patients with weakened heart function.

Administration of Dotamin 5ML Injection requires continuous monitoring of ECG and blood pressure. Whenever possible, pulmonary wedge pressure and cardiac output should also be assessed to ensure safe and effective infusion. Patients with conditions such as idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis (abnormal thickening of the left ventricle) or those with known hypersensitivity to the medication should inform their doctor beforehand. It is also important for pregnant or breastfeeding women, as well as individuals with sensitivities to the drug, to consult their doctor before use.
