FULL PRESCRIBING INFORMATION

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Adrenalin® is available as a single-use 1 mL vial and a multiple-use 30 mL vial for
intramuscular and subcutaneous use.
Emergency treatment of allergic reactions (Type I), including anaphylaxis, which may
result from allergic reactions to insect stings, biting insects, foods, drugs, sera, diagnostic
testing substances and other allergens, as well as idiopathic anaphylaxis or exerciseinduced anaphylaxis. The signs and symptoms associated with anaphylaxis include
flushing, apprehension, syncope, tachycardia, thready or unobtainable pulse associated
with hypotension, convulsions, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal cramps, involuntary
voiding, airway swelling, laryngospasm, bronchospasm, pruritus, urticaria or
angioedema, swelling of the eyelids, lips, and tongue.
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Inject Adrenalin® intramuscularly or subcutaneously into the anterolateral aspect of the
thigh, through clothing if necessary. When administering to a child, to minimize the risk
of injection related injury, hold the leg firmly in place and limit movement prior to and
during an injection. The injection may be repeated every 5 to 10 minutes as necessary.
For intramuscular administration, use a needle long enough (at least 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch)
to ensure the injection is administered into the muscle. Monitor the patient clinically for
the severity of the allergic reaction and potential cardiac effects of the drug, with repeat
doses titrated to effect. Do not administer repeated injections at the same site, as the
resulting vasoconstriction may cause tissue necrosis.
Inspect visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. Do not
use if the solution is colored or cloudy, or if it contains particulate matter.

undiluted Adrenalin® administered intramuscularly or subcutaneously in the anterolateral
aspect of the thigh, up to a maximum of 0.5 mg (0.5 mL) per injection, repeated every 5
to 10 minutes as necessary. Monitor clinically for reaction severity and cardiac effects.
