Doxapram Hydrochloride


Class: Anorexigenic Agents and Respiratory and Cerebral Stimulants, Miscellaneous
VA Class: RE900
CAS Number: 7081-53-0
Brands: Dopram

Introduction

CNS stimulant; a monohydrated pyrrolidinone derivative.128 a


Uses for Doxapram Hydrochloride


Postanesthetic Respiratory Depression


Treatment of drug-induced postanesthetic respiratory depression or apnea not caused by skeletal muscle relaxants.127 a


Other supportive therapy preferred due to questionable benefit and high potential for toxicity with doxapram.a Limited role due to availability of safer and shorter-acting anesthetic agents.128


Drug-induced CNS Depression


Has been used in conjunction with supportive measures to stimulate respiration and hasten arousal in patients with respiratory and CNS depression secondary to drug overdose (e.g., barbiturates, opiate analgesics, general anesthetics).127 a


However, use as an analeptic is strongly discouraged by most clinicians;a analeptic therapy largely abandoned in favor of intensive supportive care (e.g., mechanical ventilation, oxygenation, cardiovascular support) and specific antidotes (e.g., pure opiate antagonists).135 a


Acute Hypercapnia Associated with COPD


Short-term use in patients with acute respiratory insufficiency associated with COPD.127 a


Role in such patients is limited; other supportive therapy (i.e., noninvasive ventilation using either negative- or positive-pressure device) is preferred.132 133 134 a


Neonatal Apnea


Has been used for the treatment of neonatal apnea,100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 120 121 123 124 125 principally in combination with theophylline104 105 106 120 or caffeine.107


Limited support for this use; no apparent advantage over methylxanthines and risk of substantial adverse effects with doxapram therapy.128 130 131 The commercially available injection contains benzyl alcohol; use of this preparation in neonates is not recommended.110 117 118 120 127 136 (See Pediatric Use under Cautions.)


Other Uses


Should not be used in conjunction with mechanical ventilation.127


Doxapram Hydrochloride Dosage and Administration


General



  • Establish adequate airway and oxygenation prior to administration; take measures to prevent vomiting and aspiration.127 a




  • Use minimum effective dosage to avoid adverse effects.127 a




  • Monitor BP, heart rate, and deep tendon reflexes; adjust dosage or rate of infusion accordingly.127 Monitor for recurrence of unconsciousness or development of respiratory depression; provide supportive care as required.127



Administration


IV Administration


For solution and drug compatibility information, see Compatibility under Stability.


Administer by IV injection or IV infusion.127 a


Predictable blood gas patterns in patients with COPD and acute hypercapnia are more readily established with IV infusion therapy.127


Avoid extravasation and repeated use of a single injection site to minimize local reactions and thrombophlebitis.127 a


Dilution

Prepare 1-mg/mL solution by adding 250 mg of doxapram hydrochloride (12.5 mL) to 250 mL of 5% dextrose, 10% dextrose, or 0.9% sodium chloride injection.127


Prepare 2-mg/mL solution by adding 400 mg of doxapram hydrochloride (20 mL) to 180 mL of 5% dextrose, 10% dextrose, or 0.9% sodium chloride injection.127


Rate of Administration

Rapid infusion may result in hemolysis; infuse diluted solution at slow rate.127 a


Postanesthetic use: Initiate IV infusion with 1-mg/mL solution at a rate of approximately 5 mg/minute until desired response achieved; usual maintenance rate is 1–3 mg/minute.127


Acute hypercapnia associated with COPD: Initiate IV infusion with 2-mg/mL solution at a rate of 1–2 mg/minute; may increase to maximum rate of 3 mg/minute.127


Dosage

Warnings/Precautions


Warnings


Benzyl Alcohol in Neonates

Doxapram hydrochloride injection contains benzyl alcohol as a preservative, which has been associated with toxicity (including deaths) in neonates.109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 122 127 Use of this preparation in neonates is not recommended.110 117 118 120 127 (See Pediatric Use under Cautions.)


Mechanical Ventilation

Do not use doxapram in conjunction with mechanical ventilation.127 a


Postanesthetic Use

Doxapram is not an antagonist to muscle relaxants nor a specific opiate antagonist.127 Assess adequacy of ventilation with specific tests (e.g., peripheral nerve stimulation, airway pressures, head lift, pulse oximetry, end-tidal carbon dioxide) prior to use.127


Narcosis may recur; observe patient closely until fully alert for 0.5–1 hour.127


Concomitant use with a volatile general anesthetic may increase potential for arrhythmias.127 (See Specific Drugs under Interactions.)


Use with caution in patients with hypermetabolic states (e.g., hyperthyroidism, pheochromocytoma).127


Drug-Induced CNS and Respiratory Depression

May not be effective in patients with severe CNS or respiratory depression; manufacturers state that doxapram may be used adjunctively with established supportive and resuscitative measures.127


If no response, perform neurologic evaluation to identify other potential causes of sustained coma.127


COPD

Do not increase rate of infusion to lower carbon dioxide tension.127


Arrhythmias have been reported in patients with acute respiratory failure secondary to COPD.127 a Use with caution in these patients.127


To prevent respiratory acidosis in patients with COPD, monitor arterial blood gases at baseline and every 30 minutes. 127 Discontinue drug and initiate mechanical ventilation if arterial blood gases deteriorate.127


Use does not reduce need for supplemental oxygen.127


General Precautions


Cardiovascular Effects

Possible changes in heart rate, lowered T-waves, and dysrhythmias (e.g., ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, QT interval prolongation).127 128 a Use with caution and monitor cardiac rhythm.127 a


Increases in BP usually are modest, but substantial increases reported.127 Avoid use in patients with severe hypertension.127 (See Contraindications under Cautions.)


Chest pain and tightness in chest also reported.127 a


Discontinue drug if sudden hypotension develops.127 a


Respiratory Effects

Establish and protect airways.127


Discontinue drug if sudden dyspnea develops.127


Lowered carbon dioxide tension induced by hyperventilation may cause cerebral vasoconstriction and decreased cerebral circulation.127 a Pressor effect on pulmonary circulation may lead to decreased arterial oxygen tension.127 Monitor arterial blood gases.127


CNS Effects

May cause seizures and other adverse effects due to general CNS stimulation.127 a Anticonvulsants, oxygen, and resuscitative equipment should be readily available; carefully observe patient and administer drug slowly if treatment continued.127


Local Effects

Potential for local reactions including thrombophlebitis; administer dilute solutions at a slow rate, prevent extravasation, and avoid repeated use of a single injection site.127 a


Hemolysis

Rapid infusion may result in hemolysis.127 a (See Rate of Administration under Dosage and Administration.)


Specific Populations


Pregnancy

Category B.127 129


Lactation

Not known whether doxapram is distributed into milk;127 however, molecular weight of free base suggests drug may be distributed into milk.129


Benzyl alcohol in commercial preparation is associated with toxicity in neonates; caution if used in nursing women.127 (See Pediatric Use under Cautions.)


Pediatric Use

Safety and efficacy not established in children <12 years of age.127 a


Each mL of doxapram hydrochloride injection contains 9 mg of benzyl alcohol;109 use of this preparation in neonates is not recommended.110 117 118 120 127 Although a causal relationship has not been established, large amounts of benzyl alcohol (100–400 mg/kg daily) have been associated with toxicity in neonates.109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 122 127


Hepatic Impairment

Use with caution.127 Possible decrease in rate of metabolism or clearance in patients with substantial hepatic impairment.127
