Dopamine Hcl Fliptop is given by injection through a vein (larger arm vein is preferred) in an IV solution.

The contents of the IV solution should be examined for discoloration or particles before use. Solutions darker than slightly yellow or containing particles should be discarded. The infusion rate of Dopamine Hcl Fliptop should be slowly reduced before stopping. Other IV solutions may be needed to prevent low blood pressure.
