What is adrenaline injection used for?
Anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction)
Triggered by food, insect stings, medications, or latex. Adrenaline is the first-line emergency treatment.
Cardiac arrest
Used during resuscitation to stimulate the heart and restore circulation.
Severe asthma attacks
Helps open the airways when other treatments have not worked.
How does it work?
Adrenaline (epinephrine) is a naturally occurring hormone. When injected, it rapidly narrows blood vessels to raise blood pressure, relaxes muscles in the lungs to improve breathing, stimulates the heart, and reduces swelling and hives. These combined effects make it uniquely effective in stopping a severe allergic reaction within minutes.
