Epinephrine MAXIPHRINE 1mg/mL Ampoules x 1 mL 10’s

INDICATIONS: Epinephrine/Adrenaline is an endogenous substance that is produced in the adrenal medulla and has important physiological effects.

It is also used pharmacologically as a direct-acting sympathomimetic. It is a potent agonist at both alpha and beta adrenoceptors, although the effect on beta adrenoceptors is more marked, particularly at lower doses.

Epinephrine has an important role in the management of acute allergic reactions and can be life-saving in patients with anaphylaxis and anaphylactic shocks. It is also used in advanced cardiac life support.

Other uses include the control of minor bleeding from the skin and mucous membranes, the management of open-angle (simple) glaucoma, and uses as an adjunct to local anesthesia.
