Use in pregnancy: As dobutamine injection has not been administered to pregnant women, the physician should, in each case, weigh the benefits against the potential risks.
Use in lactation: It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when dobutamine is administered to a nursing woman. If the mother requires dobutamine treatment, breastfeeding should be discontinued for the duration of the treatment.
