<p>The potency of Dobutamine Hydrochloride may be decreased if the patient is given b-adrenergic receptor antagonists. In such a case, the unopposed a-agonist effects of Dobutamine Hydrochloride may become apparent, including peripheral vasoconstriction and hypertension. Conversely, a-adrenergic blockade may make the b-1 and b-2 effects apparent, resulting in tachycardia and vasodilatation.<br />
<br />
There has been no overt indication of medicine interactions in clinical studies in which Dobutamine Hydrochloride was administered concurrently with other medicines, including digitalis preparations, furosemide, spironolactone, lidocaine, nitroglycerin, nitroprusside, isosorbide dinitrate, morphine, atropine, heparin, protamine, potassium chloride, folic acid, and paracetamol.</p>
