Description
Product Description: Adrenaline Injection, also known as epinephrine injection, is a sterile solution containing adrenaline, a hormone and neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in the body's response to stress and emergencies. Formulated for intramuscular or intravenous administration, Adrenaline Injection is used to treat severe allergic reactions, anaphylaxis, cardiac arrest, and other life-threatening conditions. Manufactured under strict quality control measures, Adrenaline Injection provides rapid and potent effects to restore normal physiological function.
Indications and Usage: Adrenaline Injection is indicated for the emergency treatment of severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), acute asthma attacks, cardiac arrest, and profound bradycardia. It is also used during resuscitation efforts to restore cardiac output and blood pressure in critically ill patients.
Dosage and Administration: The dosage of Adrenaline Injection varies depending on the indication, patient's weight, and clinical condition. It is typically administered via intramuscular injection for allergic reactions and asthma attacks, while intravenous administration is preferred in cardiac arrest and bradycardia. The recommended dosage regimen should be individualized based on the patient's response to therapy and monitored closely for efficacy and safety.
Dosage Forms and Strengths: Adrenaline Injection is available as a sterile solution in vials or ampules containing specific concentrations of adrenaline formulated for intramuscular or intravenous administration. Each container is meticulously labeled with the adrenaline concentration to ensure accurate dosing and optimal therapeutic outcomes.
Contraindications: This product is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to adrenaline or any of the excipients. It should not be used in patients with narrow-angle glaucoma, severe hypertension, or underlying cardiovascular disease without careful consideration of the risks and benefits. Additionally, caution should be exercised in patients with hyperthyroidism, diabetes, or pheochromocytoma.
Warnings and Precautions: Healthcare providers should exercise caution when administering Adrenaline Injection to patients with cardiovascular disease, hypertension, or hyperthyroidism, as adrenaline may exacerbate these conditions. Intravenous infusion should be administered slowly and titrated to effect to minimize the risk of adverse cardiovascular effects. Patients should be monitored closely for signs of hypertension, tachycardia, and arrhythmias during therapy.

Excessive adrenaline administration may cause hypertension, tachycardia, and arrhythmias.
