Epinephrine -Adrenaline tablet for allergic reaction &low BP

 Epinephrine /Adrenaline

Epinephrine /Adrenaline - belongs to a group of medicines used for the treatment of serious shock produced by a severe allergic reaction or collapse. It may also be used to restart your heart if it has stopped.

ఎపినెఫ్రిన్ / అడ్రినలిన్ - తీవ్రమైన అలెర్జీ ప్రతిచర్య లేదా కుప్పకూలడం వల్ల ఉత్పన్నమయ్యే తీవ్రమైన షాక్ చికిత్సకు ఉపయోగించే ఔషధాల సమూహానికి చెందినది. మీ గుండె ఆగిపోయినట్లయితే దాన్ని రీస్టార్ట్ చేయడానికి కూడా దీనిని ఉపయోగించవచ్చు.

Sometimes use low BP

Epinephrine injection is used along with emergency medical treatment to treat life-threatening allergic reactions caused by insect bites or stings, foods, medications, latex, and other causes. Epinephrine is in a class of medications called alpha- and beta-adrenergic agonists -its sympathomimetic agents.

 What is the mechanism of action for epinephrine? Mechanism of Action

Through its action on alpha-1 receptors, epinephrine induces increased vascular smooth muscle contraction, pupillary dilator muscle contraction, and intestinal sphincter muscle contraction

What group of drug is adrenaline?

 It works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and tightening the blood vessels. Epinephrine is in a class of medications called alpha- and beta-adrenergic agonists -sympathomimetic agents.

Is epinephrine a sympathomimetic drug?

Sympathomimetic drugs are agents which in general mimic responses due to stimulation of sympathetic nerves. These agents are able to directly activate adrenergic receptors or to indirectly activate them by increasing norepinephrine and epinephrine-(mediators of the sympathoadrenal system) levels.

Adrenalin? medicine

Adrenalin is used to treat severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) to insect stings or bites, foods, drugs, and other allergens. Epinephrine auto-injectors may be kept on hand for self-injection by a person with a history of severe allergic reactions. Epinephrine is also used to treat exercise-induced anaphylaxis

 or to treat low blood pressure that is caused by septic shock. Adrenalin may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide

 

Before taking this medicine-Before using epinephrine -->

tell your doctor if any past use of Adrenalin caused an allergic reaction to get worse.

heart disease or high blood pressure;

asthma;Parkinson's disease;

depression or mental illness;

a thyroid disorder; or

diabetes.

 

 


 

What are adrenergic functions?

 

Adrenergic drugs stimulate the nerves in your body's sympathetic nervous system (SNS). This system helps regulate your body's reaction to stress or emergency- These drugs can also bind with the receptors to stimulate the release of epinephrine and norepinephrine.

 

What do the adrenergic receptors do?

 

Adrenergic receptors are cell surface glycoproteins that recognize and selectively bind the catecholamines, norepinephrine and epinephrine, which are released from sympathetic nerve endings and the adrenal medulla.

 

Adrenergic receptors are cell surface glycoproteins that recognize and selectively bind the catecholamines, norepinephrine, and epinephrine, which are released from sympathetic nerve endings and the adrenal medulla. By transducing the external catecholamine stimulus into an intracellular signal, these receptors mediate the actions of the sympathetic nervous system, including a variety of responses such as arteriolar smooth muscle contraction and cardiac contraction, while are critically involved in cardiac function and blood pressure homeostasis. Activation or blockade of these receptors is, thus, a major therapeutic approach for the management of a number of cardiovascular disorders, including hypertension, angina pectoris, and cardiac arrhythmias. Additionally, alterations in these receptors or in their coupled intracellular effectors may contribute to or underlie the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases such as cardiac hypertrophy, congestive heart failure, and hypertension. Over the past few years, major insights have been gained into the physiology and pharmacology of these receptors, particularly in relation to the molecular mechanisms involved in their ability to mediate "transmembrane signaling." These insights, which will be reviewed here, have resulted from the isolation and characterization of adrenergic receptors, from the determination of their deduced primary and secondary structures, and from structure-function studies using classical biochemistry and pharmacology as well as recombinant DNA

Dust allergy - Homeopathic Treatment

Dust  allergy What is a dust  allergy? Dust mites are extremely tiny bugs that belong to the spider family. They live in house dust and feed on the dead skin cells that people regularly shed. Dust mites can survive in all climates and at most altitudes. They thrive in warm environments, preferring those at 70°F (21°C) and 70 percent relative humidity. When you breathe in the waste products of dust mites, your immune system kicks into high gear, producing antibodies against the normally harmless substances. This overzealous immune response causes the symptoms associated with a dust mite allergy, such as sneezing and runny nose. According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), this type of allergy affects about 20 million  people in the United States. Aside from allergy symptoms, long-term exposure to dust mite allergens may lead to sinus infections and asthma. Causes of dust mite allergies An allergy is the immune system’s response to an unknown substan...

For high blood pressure – the usual dose is 25mg to 50mg taken once a day. For angina (chest pain) – the usual dose is 100mg taken once a day or split into 2 50mg doses. For irregular heartbeats (arrhythmia) - the us...

Coronary heart disease (CHD)- Homeo- Medicine Remedies

Heart attack Heart attack is major cause Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of heart attacks. CHD is a condition in which the coronary arteries  (the major blood vessels that supply the heart with blood)  get clogged up with deposits of cholesterol.  These deposits are called plaques heart attack occurs when the flow of blood to the heart is blocked.  The blockage is most often a buildup of fat, cholesterol and other substances,  which form a plaque in the arteries that feed the heart (coronary arteries).  The plaque eventually breaks away and forms a clot.  The interrupted blood flow can damage or destroy part of the heart muscle.  A heart attack, also called a myocardial infarction     Pressure, tightness, pain, or a squeezing or aching sensation in your chest     or arms that may spread to your neck, jaw or back     Nausea, indigestion, heartburn or abdominal pai...
