How Dopamine Hydrochloride Injection works
Dopamine is a natural chemical messenger in the body. When given as an injection, it acts on the heart and blood vessels to increase heart rate and contractility, and to constrict blood vessels, thereby raising blood pressure. It also helps improve blood flow to the kidneys, promoting urine output.
