The simultaneous use of dobutamine with nitrates or sodium nitroprusside is accompanied by a more pronounced increase in MOS, a decrease in OPSS and ventricular filling pressure than with separate use of drugs.
The combined use of dobutamine and dopamine leads to a more significant increase in blood pressure (a dose-dependent effect of dopamine),increased renal blood flow (stimulation of dopaminergic receptors of renal vessels) and a decrease or absence of changes in ventricular filling pressure.
Alpha-adrenoblockers and drugs with alpha-adrenoblocking activity reduce the hypertensive effect of dobutamine.
Beta-adrenoblockers in small doses contribute to narrowing of the arteries; in high doses show antagonism with dobutamine effects, reduce the positive inotropic effect, there may be an increase in OPSS.
Dobutamine reduces the hypotensive effect of diuretics. The appointment with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors can lead to increased oxygen consumption in the myocardium, the appearance of pain in the heart and arrhythmias.
When combined with halogenated inhalation anesthetics, it should be borne in mind that halothane sensitizes the myocardium to the arrhythmogenic effects of sympathomimetics.
Tricyclic antidepressants, maprotiline, cocaine, doxapram, guanadrel, guanethidine, increase the pressor effect and the risk of cardiotoxic side effects.
Levodopa increases the risk of arrhythmias (requires a reduction in the dose of sympathomimetics).
Cardiac glycosides increase (mutually) inotropic effect and the risk of arrhythmia (caution should be exercised).
Thyroid hormones increase (mutually) the effect and the associated risk of coronary insufficiency (especially in coronary atherosclerosis).
Contraindicated simultaneous administration of MAO inhibitors, since in this case, development of life threatening side effects (hypertensive crisis, collapse, cardiac rhythm disturbance and intracranial hemorrhages) is possible.
The use of dobutamine in diabetic patients can cause a higher need for insulin. Therefore, patients with diabetes should monitor the concentration of glucose in the blood.
