📋Overview
Epinephrine is a hormone and medication that plays a key role in the body's fight-or-flight response. It is commonly associated with the management of severe allergic reactions, such as anaphylaxis, and certain cardiac emergencies. Epinephrine works by stimulating the heart, relaxing muscles in the airways, and tightening blood vessels. It is also used in some situations to address severe asthma attacks and other acute medical conditions.
