Adrenaline (Cat No.:A000753), also known as adrenaline, is a naturally occurring catecholamine and hormone crucial for the body’s fight-or-flight response. It acts on alpha and beta adrenergic receptors, leading to increased heart rate, bronchodilation, vasoconstriction, and elevated blood glucose levels. Medically, epinephrine is used to treat anaphylaxis, cardiac arrest, asthma attacks, and severe allergic reactions. It is typically administered via injection or inhalation. Rapid-acting and lifesaving, epinephrine plays a vital role in emergency medicine and acute care interventions.
