Dopamine hydrochloride

Overview

Basic Info

SummaryDopamine hydrochloride, first approved in the USA on February 25, 1974, is a medication developed and marketed by Hospira. It is indicated for the treatment of heart failure and shock. Dopamine hydrochloride works as a dopamine agonist, which means that it binds to and activates dopamine receptors in the body. This results in increased cardiac output and improved blood flow to vital organs. The chemical name for dopamine hydrochloride is 3,4-dihydroxyphenethylamine hydrochloride. As the hydrochloride salt form of dopamine, it is more stable and soluble in water, making it suitable for intravenous administration in clinical settings.
