Preferred Label : Therapeutic Epinephrine;

NCIt synonyms : Epi;

NCIt related terms : Adrenal; EPINEPHRINE; adrenaline; Epinephrine autoinjector;

NCIt definition : The synthetic form of the naturally occurring sympathomimetic amine with vasoconstricting, intraocular pressure-reducing, and bronchodilating activities. By stimulating vascular alpha-adrenergic receptors, epinephrine causes vasoconstriction, thereby increasing vascular resistance and blood pressure. When administered in the conjunctiva, this agent binds to alpha-adrenergic receptors in the iris sphincter muscle, resulting in vasoconstriction, a decrease in the production of aqueous humor, and a lowering of intraocular pressure. Through its beta1 receptor-stimulating actions, epinephrine increases the force and rate of myocardial contraction and relaxes bronchial smooth muscle, resulting in bronchodilation.;

Alternative definition : ACC/AHA: Epinephrine is a sympathomimetic drug that increases blood pressure and enhances ventricular contractility.;
