What is Epinephrine?
Epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, is a potent catecholamine and sympathomimetic agent used primarily to treat severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, as well as cardiac arrest and severe asthma attacks. It functions by stimulating alpha and beta-adrenergic receptors, leading to vasoconstriction, increased heart rate, and bronchodilation, thereby rapidly improving hemodynamics and respiratory function. Epinephrine is typically administered via intramuscular injection, particularly in the form of an auto-injector for emergency treatment of anaphylactic episodes.Side Effects
