Application of pregnancy and breastfeeding

During pregnancy and lactation (breastfeeding) Dopamine is used only in those cases when expected benefit for mother exceeds potential risk for fetus or child.

Method of application and doses

Set individually depending on the severity of the shock, the magnitude of blood pressure and the patient's response to the introduction of dopamine. With the aim of improving the myocardial contractility and increase urine output give/drip in 100-250 µg/min In case of need for exposure to the AD increase the dose to 300-500-700 µg/min.
