Information

Epinephrine (adrenaline) is a naturally occurring catecholamine hormone and neurotransmitter. It is used medically for the emergency treatment of severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), cardiac arrest, and as a bronchodilator in respiratory conditions such as asthma. Still widely approved and used today for acute anaphylactic reactions and resuscitation.

Pharmacokinetics

Typical adult, healthy subjects; intravenous administration.
