  2. Epinephrine (medication) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epinephrine_(medication)

    There is an epinephrine metered-dose inhaler sold over the counter in the United States to relieve bronchial asthma. [67] [68] It was introduced in 1963 by Armstrong Pharmaceuticals. [69] A common concentration for epinephrine is 2.25% w/v epinephrine in solution, which contains 22.5 mg/mL, while a 1% solution is typically used for aerosolization.

  3. Epinephrine autoinjector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epinephrine_autoinjector

    An epinephrine autoinjector (or adrenaline autoinjector, also known by the trademark EpiPen) is a medical device for injecting a measured dose or doses of epinephrine (adrenaline) by means of autoinjector technology. It is most often used for the treatment of anaphylaxis. The first epinephrine autoinjector was brought to market in 1983.

  4. Minimum alveolar concentration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_alveolar_concentration

    Minimum alveolar concentration or MAC is the concentration, often expressed as a percentage by volume, of a vapour in the alveoli of the lungs that is needed to prevent movement (motor response) in 50% of subjects in response to surgical (pain) stimulus.

  5. Bupivacaine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bupivacaine

    The rate of systemic absorption of bupivacaine and other local anesthetics is dependent upon the dose and concentration of drug administered, the route of administration, the vascularity of the administration site, and the presence or absence of epinephrine in the preparation. [29] Onset of action (route and dose-dependent): 1–17 min

  6. Injector pen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Injector_pen

    Some medications are formulated as injector pens to quicken the onset of action of the medication. This includes epinephrine, which when used to treat anaphylaxis must work as soon as possible. [19] Contrary to most other injector pens, epinephrine injector pens are designed to administer the medication via intramuscular injection. [19]

  7. Racepinefrine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racepinefrine

    Racepinefrine (INN Tooltip International Nonproprietary Name, USAN Tooltip United States Adopted Name), or racepinephrine, sold under the brand name Vaponefrin among others, is a sympathomimetic medication described as a vasoconstrictor, bronchodilator, cardiostimulant, mydriatic, and antiglaucoma agent.

  8. Area under the curve (pharmacokinetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_under_the_curve...

    The use of trapezoidal rule in AUC calculation was known in literature by no later than 1975, in J.G. Wagner's Fundamentals of Clinical Pharmacokinetics. A 1977 article compares the "classical" trapezoidal method to a number of methods that take into account the typical shape of the concentration plot, caused by first-order kinetics. [8]

  9. Adrenaline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenaline

    Endogenous plasma adrenaline concentrations in resting adults usually are less than 10 ng/L, but they may increase by 10-fold during exercise and by 50-fold or more during times of stress. Pheochromocytoma patients often have plasma adrenaline levels of 1000–10,000 ng/L. Parenteral administration of adrenaline to acute-care cardiac patients ...
