About Adrenaline Tartrate Injection 1 ml (Rathi Lab)

Adrenaline Tartrate Injection 1 ml (Rathi Lab) is an emergency injection used to treat severe, life-threatening allergic reactions, also known as anaphylaxis. It is prescribed for immediate rescue during a medical emergency caused by insect bites, foods, medications, or other triggers. This medication works rapidly to reverse dangerous symptoms that can otherwise become fatal within minutes.

This medicine is not meant for regular daily use and is only injected when a severe allergic reaction occurs. Because it is an emergency injection, it can be used with or without food. To support your safety, making key lifestyle adjustments—such as strictly identifying and avoiding known allergens—is the most effective way to prevent the need for this emergency treatment.

While using Adrenaline Tartrate Injection 1 ml (Rathi Lab), you may experience temporary side effects such as a fast heart rate, shakiness, or anxiety. These are typical physical reactions to the medicine, but you must seek emergency medical care immediately after injecting it. If you experience serious side effects, such as severe chest pain, an irregular heartbeat, or difficulty breathing, notify the emergency medical team right away.

Before an emergency arises, talk to your doctor if you have underlying health conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, thyroid problems, or diabetes. However, because this is a life-saving rescue treatment, there are no conditions under which you should not receive Adrenaline Tartrate Injection 1 ml (Rathi Lab) during a severe, life-threatening allergic emergency.

This medicine can interact with certain blood pressure drugs, antidepressants, and heart medications, which may alter how it works. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing health conditions in an elderly family member, talk to your doctor or pharmacist to understand how to safely incorporate this medicine into your emergency allergy plan.

Directions for Use

How Adrenaline Tartrate Injection 1 ml (Rathi Lab) Works

Adrenaline Tartrate Injection 1 ml (Rathi Lab) contains 'adrenaline', also called epinephrine. It works by targeting specific receptors throughout the body to quickly reverse the symptoms of a severe allergic reaction. It acts on the blood vessels to make them narrow, which raises dangerously low blood pressure and reduces swelling in the face, lips, and throat. At the same time, it relaxes the muscles surrounding the airways in the lungs, allowing them to open up so you can breathe more easily. It also stimulates the heart, helping it beat stronger and faster, while preventing the further release of chemicals that cause the allergic reaction in the first place.
