Health Canada currently lists it as marketed, status dated 31-Dec-1992. Nexara Health is a licensed Canadian wholesale distributor (DEL 3-002896-A) and can source this product for hospitals, pharmacies and clinics. Availability and lead time are confirmed per order.
What is DOPAMINE HCL 0.8MG/ML DEXTROSE 5% INJ USP used for?
Dopamine hydrochloride is indicated for the correction of hemodynamic imbalances present in the shock syndrome due to myocardial infarction, trauma, endotoxic septicemia, open heart surgery, renal failure, and chronic cardiac decompensation as in congestive failure. Where appropriate, restoration of blood volume with a suitable plasma expander, or whole blood should be instituted or completed prior to administration of dopamine hydrochloride. Patients most likely to respond adequately to dopamine hydrochloride are those in whom physiological parameters, such as urine flow, myocardial function, and blood pressure, have not undergone profound deterioration.
Authorized indication as written in the Health Canada product monograph. For healthcare professionals and licensed purchasers; this is not medical advice.
How much does Dopamine cost around the world?
Dopamine is listed on 5 of the national price registers Nexara ingests. Each country publishes on a different basis, so those figures are not comparable with one another — or with a Canadian wholesale price.
What a market publishes matters more than the number it publishes. Greece publishes a producer price (ex-factory); Morocco publishes a PPV (public price); South Africa publishes a single exit price. Comparing an ex-factory ceiling against a pharmacy public price tells you nothing about either, and comparing either against a Canadian landed cost tells you less.
| Market | Price basis published there | Brands | Packs listed | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom | hospital | 2 | 2 | GBP███.██ |
| Greece | producer price (ex-factory) | 2 | 2 | EUR███.██ |
| Morocco | PPV (public price) | 1 | 2 | MAD███.██ |
| South Africa | single exit price | 2 | 2 | ZAR███.██ |
| United Arab Emirates | public | 1 | 1 | AED███.██ |
9 pack listings across 8 brand entries and 5 price bases, refreshed 05 Sep 2026. Ranges span every Dopamine pack in that market, so a high figure is usually a larger pack rather than the same product.
Canada publishes no comparable public list price. For a delivered Canadian price on a licensed account, verify your licence — it takes about a minute.
Is there a generic Dopamine in Canada, and who makes it?
Every market authorization holder with a Canadian DIN for this molecule, and how many of their listings Health Canada currently shows as marketed.
4 holders have a Canadian DIN containing Dopamine, across 8 DINs, of which 3 are currently marketed. Marketed count is the number that matters: an approval that is not marketed cannot be bought.
| Market authorization holder | DINs | Marketed | Brand names | Position |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BAXTER CORPORATION | 3 | 3 | DOPAMINE HCL 0.8MG/ML DEXTROSE 5% INJ USP, DOPAMINE HCL 1.6MG/ML DEXTROSE 5% INJ USP, DOPAMINE HCL 3.2MG/ML DEXTROSE 5% INJ USP | Sourceable in Canada |
| HOSPIRA HEALTHCARE ULC | 3 | 0 | DOPAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE AND 5% DEXTROSE INJECTION USP | No marketed DIN |
| BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB CANADA | 1 | 0 | INTROPIN INJECTION 40MG/ML | No marketed DIN |
| INTERNATIONAL MEDICATION SYSTEMS LTD. | 1 | 0 | DOPAMINE HCL INJ 4% | No marketed DIN |
Health Canada’s Drug Product Database does not flag which listing is the originator and which are subsequent-entry products, so Nexara does not label them here. Interchangeability is determined provincially, not federally — confirm for your province before a formulary switch. Nexara can confirm which of these is actually obtainable, and on what lead time, per order.
How is it supplied and stored?
Pack configuration, storage class and the handling constraints that drive cold-chain planning. One DIN can cover more than one pack size, and the pack — not the DIN — is what gets priced, shipped and invoiced.
| Strength on the label | 50 MG |
|---|---|
| Dosage form | SOLUTION |
| Route | INTRAVENOUS |
| Pack configuration (monograph) | Dopamine Hydrochloride and 5% Dextrose Injection, USP in VIAFLEX plastic container is available in different sizes and concentrations as listed in Table 1. |
| Storage | room temperature (15-25°C): brief exposure up to 40°C does not adversely affect the product. Avoid excessive heat. Protect from light and freezing. |
Before an order line is unambiguous Nexara needs the strength, the pack size and the presentation, because this listing covers more than one of them.

What can be used instead?
Alternatives on every axis a buyer actually considers — the same molecule in another presentation, the same class, an adjacent class, or a fixed-dose combination. Every row is led by the marketed DIN count, because that is what can be bought this week.

A molecule with zero marketed DINs cannot be sourced domestically, however many approvals it holds — if one of these sits on a formulary or in an older protocol, that is the line to check.

Not clinical advice. These tables describe what can be supplied in Canada, not what should be prescribed. Substitution within or across classes is a prescriber and pharmacist decision, and interchangeability is determined provincially.
What else is DOPAMINE HCL 0.8MG/ML DEXTROSE 5% INJ USP called?
The same molecule, Dopamine, is registered under other names elsewhere. Buyers and prescribers searching from outside Canada — or working from a foreign prescription or tender document — often know it by one of these:
| Name | Script | Registered in |
|---|---|---|
| DOPAMINE PIERRE FABRE | Latin | Morocco |
| Micro-Dopamine | Latin | South Africa |
Names are taken from national medicine registers and published price lists. A product registered abroad is not authorized for sale in Canada unless it holds its own DIN; import is possible only through the routes Health Canada permits.

Ordering questions
Who can buy this from Nexara?
Licensed entities only. Nexara holds Health Canada establishment licence DEL 3-002896-A and ships only to a licensed address. Patients and unlicensed buyers are routed to a partner pharmacy.
Is there a minimum order?
Yes, set per product line and per pack multiple rather than on the order total, so you are never asked to buy a part-pack. The minimum for this line is confirmed with your quote.
What is the lead time?
Confirmed per order at quotation, and it depends on current stock position and whether the product is in shortage.
Why is there no price on this page?
Nexara quotes a delivered Canadian price per order, against a verified licence. Foreign list prices are published on incompatible bases and are not a guide to what any buyer can obtain here, so this page shows which markets list the molecule and on what basis, and nothing more.
Can Nexara supply this for a clinical trial?
Yes — comparator and background-therapy supply, including sourcing from other markets where a Canadian pack will not satisfy the protocol. Clinical trial supply.
