DOBUSTAT INJECTION 250MG belongs to a class of medicines called vasopressors used to treat patients with low cardiac output, decompensated heart failure (DHF), and Myocardial infarction (MI). Myocardial infarction, also known as a heart attack, could occur due to the lack of blood and oxygen supply to the heart. Cardiac decompensation is an abnormal condition in which the heart is no longer able to maintain efficient circulation.  

DOBUSTAT INJECTION 250MG contains Dobutamine which works by increasing blood flow to the muscles and increasing the pumping efficiency of the heart.

DOBUSTAT INJECTION 250MG will be administered by a healthcare professional. Hence, do not self-administer. Sometimes, DOBUSTAT INJECTION 250MG may cause common side effects such as headache, nausea, shortness of breath, chest pain, irregular heartbeat and pain at the site of injection. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.

DOBUSTAT INJECTION 250MG contains Dobutamine which is used to treat Cardiac decompensation and low cardiac output patients. It works by increasing blood flow to the muscles. Additionally, it may be used in people with congestive heart failure (heart failure due to the build-up of blood or fluid) to help the heart pump better by increasing the pumping efficiency of the heart.

• Eat small meals more frequently.
• Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated as dehydration may reduce blood volume resulting in low blood pressure.
• Include vitamin B12-rich foods such as animal meats, eggs, fortified cereals, and nutritional yeast.
• Take frequent breaks if you exercise outdoors in extreme heat.
• Avoid spending a long time in hot tubs, steam rooms, and saunas to prevent dehydration.

Myocardial infarction (MI)/Heart attack: It occurs when a blood clot blocks the blood flow to the heart. This blockage of arteries is often an accumulation of fat, cholesterol and other substances, which form plaque in the arteries that feed the heart (coronary arteries). Heart attack signs include chest pain, upper body pain, sweating, nausea, fatigue, and trouble breathing.

Decompensated heart failure (DHF): It is a condition in which the heart is no longer able to maintain efficient circulation. This leads to the sudden onset of symptoms of heart failure.
