Dopamine
OVERDOSE
In case of accidental overdosage, as evidenced by excessive blood pressure elevation, reduce rate of administration or temporarily discontinue DOPAMINE until patient's condition stabilizes. Since the duration of action of DOPAMINE is quite short, no additional remedial measures are usually necessary. If these measures fail to stabilize the patient's condition, use of the short-acting alpha adrenergic blocking agent, phentolamine, should be considered.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
DOPAMINE should not be used in patients with pheochromocytoma.
DOPAMINE should not be administered in the presence of uncorrected tachyarrhythmias or ventricular fibrillation.
Generic Name: Dopamine Hydrochloride
