What Dobutamine is and what it is used for

Dobutamine belongs to a group of medicines called catecholamines. It helps your heart to work more effectively.

It works by strengthening the pumping action of the heart, increasing the amount of blood flow in the body and by expanding your veins and arteries.

Dobutamine is used:- to treat heart failure (cardiac decompensation) if the heart is not beating strongly enough (depressed contractility),- in heart failure where there is severe low blood pressure (hypotension),- to detect poor blood supply to the heart (cardiac stress testing).

Paediatric population Dobutamine is indicated in all paediatric age groups (from neonates to 18 years of age) as inotropic support in low cardiac output hypoperfusion states resulting from decompensated heart failure, following cardiac surgery, cardiomyopathies and in cardiogenic or septic shock.
