Adrenaline Bitartrate Injection 1 ml belongs to a class of medicines called 'sympathomimetic', primarily used for the treatment of cardiac arrest, hypotension due to septic shock and life-threatening allergic reactions. Cardiac arrest is a sudden loss of blood flow resulting from the failure of the heart to pump effectively. Severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis due to foods, drugs, insect stings, bites, or other allergens. It may cause symptoms like breathing difficulty, facial swelling, dizziness, confusion and hives.

Adrenaline Bitartrate Injection 1 ml is used to increase blood flow to the heart and increase the chance of restoring a heartbeat in cardiac arrest. Adrenaline Bitartrate Injection 1 ml increases mean arterial blood pressure in adult patients with hypotension associated with septic shock. It is also used to increase blood flow through veins by constricting blood vessels and helps to relax the muscles, which block the airways and allow breathing to return to normal in allergic reactions due to foods, drugs, insect stings or bites or any other allergens.

Cardiac arrest: Cardiac arrest is the abrupt loss of heart function, breathing and consciousness. The condition usually results from a problem with your heart's electrical system, which disrupts your heart's pumping action and stops blood flow to your body. Symptoms include sudden collapse, pulselessness, no breathing, and loss of consciousness.

Hypotension associated with septic shock: Dilated blood vessels may significantly decrease blood flow to certain organs or may result in a significant drop in blood pressure, leading to a state known as septic shock.

Life-threatening allergic reactions: Severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis due to foods, drugs, insect stings or bites or any other allergens. Symptoms include pain, redness, swelling (in the area of sting and sometimes beyond), flushing, hives, itching, and a potentially life-threatening reaction that may impair breathing and cause the body to go into shock.
