One ampule of adrenaline contains one milligram. Not to be used the same in one stroke. In anaphylactic shock you need to give half ampule intramuscular and half as subcutaneous dose, if needed. When you give one ampule intramuscular, patient get severe chest pain. To be used very cautiously in elderly patient.
