Description

Epinephrine Injection, USP in the form of a prefilled syringe at 0.1 mg/mL concentration, serves as a critical medication in emergency and acute care settings. As a parenteral adrenergic (sympathomimetic) agent, it acts rapidly to stimulate alpha and beta adrenergic receptors, enhancing heart function and constricting blood vessels. This physiological response is pivotal in managing severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), cardiac arrest, and other life-threatening situations where immediate intervention is crucial.

The solution is provided in a LifeShield™ Abboject™ glass syringe equipped with a 20 gauge, 1-1/2 inch needle, ensuring reliable and precise administration. It is important to note that each syringe contains a single dose and lacks bacteriostatic or antimicrobial agents, emphasizing its use for immediate injection only.

Epinephrine should be stored at a controlled room temperature range of 20 to 25 degrees Celsius (68 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit) and protected from light to maintain its potency and effectiveness. These storage conditions are essential for preserving the medication's stability and ensuring its readiness for rapid deployment in emergency situations.
