Epitrate Injection 1ml

Epitrate Injection 1ml is a critical life-saving medicine used in the treatment of anaphylaxis, severe allergic reactions, cardiac arrest, asthma attacks, and acute hypotensive states.

Adrenaline (also known as Epinephrine) is a powerful sympathomimetic agent that works by stimulating alpha and beta adrenergic receptors. Its pharmacological effects include:

• Vasoconstriction (alpha receptor stimulation): increases blood pressure and reduces swelling.

• Cardiac stimulation (beta-1 receptor): improves heart rate, cardiac output, and myocardial contraction.

• Bronchodilation (beta-2 receptor): relaxes airway muscles and relieves bronchospasm.

The addition of Sodium Metabisulphite (0.1% w/v) serves as an antioxidant and preservative, protecting adrenaline from oxidation and prolonging its stability. This makes the injection more effective and safer for emergency use.
