Description

Epi Amp P-Free 1mg/mL 1mL is an injectable solution of epinephrine, a sympathomimetic drug that acts as an alpha- and beta-adrenergic agonist. It is typically used in emergency settings to treat anaphylaxis, severe allergic reactions, and acute asthma attacks. This product is formulated without preservatives, making it suitable for patients with sensitivities to preservatives.

Epinephrine works by stimulating alpha-1 receptors, leading to vasoconstriction and an increase in blood pressure. Beta-1 stimulation causes an increase in heart rate and myocardial contractility, while beta-2 stimulation results in bronchodilation. These combined actions counteract the symptoms of anaphylactic reactions, such as hypotension, bronchoconstriction, and cardiovascular collapse.

This injectable form of epinephrine is commonly used for emergency treatment, administered intramuscularly or intravenously depending on the severity of the condition. It is also frequently used in combination with other treatments for managing shock and severe allergic responses in hospital settings.
