Epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) is a naturally occurring catecholamine hormone and neurotransmitter used primarily in emergency medicine. It is indicated for the treatment of severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), cardiac arrest, and as a vasoconstrictor in shock. It is approved and widely used today in various clinical settings.
