Cardiac TherapyIndication Dosage
Dobutamine is a medication primarily indicated for the short-term treatment of heart failure, particularly in cases where the heart's pumping ability is compromised. It is commonly used in hospital settings to increase cardiac output and improve blood flow in individuals experiencing acute heart failure or those undergoing certain cardiac diagnostic procedures. Dobutamine works by stimulating the heart muscles to pump more effectively, helping to alleviate symptoms of heart failure such as breathlessness and fluid retention.
