¿Qué es Epinephrine Pf?

La epinefrina PF (sin conservantes) es un agonista adrenérgico y un potente vasoconstrictor que se utiliza principalmente en el manejo de reacciones alérgicas agudas severas, incluyendo la anafilaxia. Funciona estimulando los receptores adrenérgicos alfa y beta, lo que lleva a la relajación bronquial, aumento de la frecuencia cardíaca y elevación de la presión arterial. La epinefrina PF está disponible en forma de autoinyector para uso de emergencia y es esencial en situaciones que amenazan la vida.
