Epinephrine bitartrate

Epinephrine bitartrate is a salt form of epinephrine used in medical treatments for anaphylaxis and cardiac arrest. Epinephrine Bitartrate is the bitartrate salt form of epinephrine, a direct-acting sympathomimetic amine with bronchodilator and vasoconstricting activity. Epinephrine bitartrate acts on both alpha and beta adrenergic receptors. By stimulating alpha adrenergic receptors locally, this agent causes vasoconstriction and reduces vascular blood flow. Administered in the conjunctiva, epinephrine bitartrate induces vasoconstriction and decreases the production of aqueous humor mediated through alpha-adrenergic receptors. Through its beta-stimulating actions, this agent relaxes bronchial smooth muscle and causes bronchodilation. It is grouped under the following drug class(es): Bronchodilators and Vasoconstrictors. Its therapeutic use is listed as decongestants. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Adrenaline Bitartrate and Bronitin. Its PubChem CID is 5815.
