Detailed explanation-1: -Epinephrine injection is used along with emergency medical treatment to treat life-threatening allergic reactions caused by insect bites or stings, foods, medications, latex, and other causes. Epinephrine is in a class of medications called alpha-and beta-adrenergic agonists (sympathomimetic agents).
