Injectable Epinephrine

Injectable epinephrine is a medication used to treat severe allergic reactions, known as anaphylaxis. It works quickly to relax airway muscles, improve breathing, and increase blood pressure, helping to counteract symptoms like swelling, difficulty breathing, and dizziness. Typically administered via an auto-injector (like an EpiPen), it provides rapid relief in emergencies. Because allergic reactions can become life-threatening, carrying and knowing how to use injectable epinephrine can be critical for individuals with known allergies. It is a safe and effective first response to potentially fatal allergic emergencies when used as directed.
