We have had a Dopamine extravasation. The pharmacy says that Regitine has been recalled. Any suggestions on how to treat this?
The brand name, Regitine, is no longer on the market and it was in very short supply for a while many years ago. The original manufacturer was acquired by another company and I do not know the exact reason for their decision, however I do not think it was a true recall of the medication.
While this brand name is no longer available, there are generic equivalants for phentolymine that are available. So this drug is still being used to manage extravasation injuries for many of the vasoconstricting drugs such as dopamine. You can learn more information at
