Preferred Label : Epinephrine Hydrochloride;
NCIt definition : The hydrochloride salt 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.;
