Epinepherine is Adrenaline - it's typically used to counter allergic reactions (e.g., an EpiPen injector) by opening blood vessels and increasing heart rate. Most of the adverse reactions include heart palpitations, tachycardia, arrhythmia, anxiety, headache, tremor, hypertension, and acute pulmonary edema.
