Epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, is primarily used for its vasoconstrictive, bronchodilatory, and cardiac-stimulating effects. It is commonly administered in emergency situations, such as anaphylaxis, to rapidly alleviate severe allergic reactions by relaxing airway muscles and reducing swelling. Additionally, it can increase heart rate and contractility, making it useful in treating cardiac arrest and severe Asthma attacks. Overall, its therapeutic effects are critical in life-threatening situations to restore normal physiological function.
