Dobunex 250mg Injection is also used while performing stress echocardiography evaluation of the heart. It is administered under the supervision of a doctor as it requires continuous blood pressure monitoring. The dose has to be individually adjusted as per the patient's response to therapy. You should continue all your other medicines that are advised by the doctor for your long-term treatment even after this injection. Your doctor may advise for regular monitoring of blood pressure. It may cause side effects like high blood pressure and insomnia (difficulty in sleeping). You must inform the doctor if you are suffering from any liver or kidney disease. Also, let your doctor know about all the other medications that you are using regularly.
In clinical use, dobutamine has a rapid onset of action and a short half-life. It increases myocardial contractility, while the reflex reduction in sympathetic tone, in response to augmentation of stroke volume, leads to a decrease in total peripheral resistance.
plasma levels of dobutamine were monitored to determine the elimination half-life. The disappearance half-life of dobutamine was calculated to be 2.37 ± 0.7 min and the distribution volume was 0.202 ± 0.084 Llkg. The limited data suggest that the volume of distribution of dobutamine was related to the extent of edema.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
