Dobuject 250mg Injection

Dobuject 250mg Injection contains Dobutamine 250mg, a heart-stimulating infusion (inotrope). Made by A & J Company, it is prescribed for acute heart failure and cardiogenic shock. Pack size: 1 injection.

Uses of Dobuject 250mg Injection

Dobuject 250mg Injection is given by continuous intravenous infusion in hospital to support a weakened heart when it cannot pump enough blood, such as in acute heart failure, cardiogenic shock or after heart surgery. It is also used during a dobutamine stress echo, a heart scan that checks how the heart copes with extra work in people who are unable to exercise.

How Dobuject 250mg Injection works

Dobutamine stimulates beta-1 receptors in the heart muscle, making each heartbeat stronger. This increases the amount of blood the heart pumps with each beat and improves blood flow to the organs, while having relatively little effect on blood pressure.

Possible side effects

Because Dobuject 250mg Injection acts directly on the heart, the side effects most often seen include:

• Fast heartbeat
• Palpitations or extra beats
• Chest pain
• Headache
• Nausea
• Changes in blood pressure

It is given with continuous heart monitoring, and the team will slow or stop the infusion if serious rhythm problems or chest pain develop. Tell staff at once if you feel chest pain, breathlessness or a racing heart.

Precautions and warnings

• It is given only in hospital or clinic settings by trained healthcare professionals who monitor the heart and blood pressure throughout.
• Tell the medical team about any allergies, especially to sulphites, and about all other medicines, including beta-blockers.
• Let them know about heart rhythm problems, narrowing of a heart valve, high blood pressure or an overactive thyroid.
• It is used in pregnancy only if 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.
