DOPAMINE

This product became non-standard and should be gradually phased out of the MSF international orders and pharmacy supplies.

Please always consider the MSF STD (noradrenaline) before ordering a NST.

Therapeutic Action

Sympathomimetic agent

Indications

Due to its adverse effects (increased mortality and tachyarrhythmia), dopamine should be gradually replaced by norepinephrine.

Norepinephrine (noradrenaline) remains the vasopressor of choice for cardiogenic and septic shocks.
