OTHER DETAILS
SURGERY
A starting dose of 25 μg/minute is recommended for the control of hypertension, or to produce hypotension during surgery. This may be increased by increments of 25 μg/minute at 5-minute intervals until the blood pressure is stabilized. Doses between 10-200 μg are usually sufficient during surgery, although doses of up to 400 μg/minute have been required in some cases

UNRESPONSIVE CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE
The recommended starting dose is 20-25 μg/minute. This may be decreased to 10 μg/minute or increased in steps of 20-25 μg/minute every 15-30 minutes until the desired effect is obtained.

UNSTABLE ANGINA
An initial dose of 10 μg/minute is recommended, with increments of 10 μg/minute being made at approximately 30 minute intervals according to the needs of the patien
