Q

Epinephrine

A

Endogenous catecholamine, direct acting, sympathomimetics, adrenergic agonist. alpha and beta agonist, released by adrenal chromaffin cells, complex action: alpha and beta summation. cardiac (beta 1 positive inotrope and chronotrope resulting in increased cardiac output) vascular(alpha 1 vasoconstriction in renal, cutaneous, and visceral blood flow but in beta 2 skeletal muscle blood flow dilation) and lung(beta 2 bronchodilator) effects. Remember that epi is crazy potent at beta 2 receptors, more than ne
