Patients currently receiving the dobutamine 250 mg / 250 ml infusions will receive PSP-prepared product until their orders are discontinued. We will not need to convert old orders to the 500 mg / 250 ml infusion

Thanks,.

Dobutamine shortage update

We have reached the end of our supply of dobutamine 250 mg / 250 ml infusions. 
Starting today, we will change back to dobutamine 500 mg / 250 ml bags. 

We do have a supply of dobutamine vials available for compounding if more concentrated infusions are needed.
