Dopacin 200mg Injection

Dopacin 200mg Injection is an injection made by Mti that contains Dopamine 200mg, a vasopressor and heart-stimulating infusion. It is used for shock and very low blood pressure. Pack size: 70 injection.

Uses of Dopacin 200mg Injection

Dopacin 200mg Injection is given by continuous intravenous infusion in intensive care or emergency settings to raise very low blood pressure and support the heart in shock, for example after a heart attack, severe infection, trauma or heart surgery. It helps restore blood flow to vital organs while the underlying cause is treated. It is used only with close monitoring.

How Dopacin 200mg Injection works

Dopamine acts on several receptor types depending on how fast it is infused. At moderate rates it mainly makes the heart beat more strongly, and at higher rates it also narrows blood vessels to raise blood pressure. This improves blood supply to the brain, kidneys and other organs.

Possible side effects

Because Dopacin 200mg Injection acts on the heart and blood vessels, the side effects seen include:

• Fast or irregular heartbeat
• Palpitations
• Nausea or vomiting
• Headache
• Chest pain
• Cold hands or feet

It is given only with continuous monitoring, and the team will adjust it if serious rhythm problems occur. Leakage of the infusion under the skin can damage tissue, so tell staff at once about pain, coldness or colour change around the drip site.

Precautions and warnings

• It is given only in hospital or clinic settings by trained healthcare professionals who monitor the patient.
• Tell the medical team about allergies, especially to sulphites, and about other medicines, particularly MAOI antidepressants.
• Let them know about heart rhythm problems, phaeochromocytoma, an overactive thyroid or circulation problems.
• It is used in pregnancy only when the benefit clearly outweighs the risk.

Storage

Store as directed on the pack, protected from light. Injections should only be prepared and given by a doctor, nurse or other trained healthcare professional. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
