Primatene Indications, Dosage, Storage, Stability - Epinephrine
INDICATIONS
AND USES
For temporary relief of shortness of breath, tightness of chest, and wheezing
due to bronchial asthma. The inhalation of Adrenalin Chloride Solution 1:100
eases breathing for asthma patients by reducing spasms of bronchial muscles.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
DIRECTIONS
For relief of bronchial congestion in asthma, Adrenalin Chloride Solution 1:100
should be applied with a glass or plastic nebulizer capable of delivering a
very fine spray, and which will work with a very small amount of solution.
Approximately 10 drops (not more) of Adrenalin Chloride Solution 1:100 are
placed in the reservoir of the nebulizer, the nozzle of which is placed just
inside the partially opened mouth. As the bulb is squeezed once or twice the
patient inhales deeply, drawing the vaporized solution into the lungs. Treatment
should be started at the first symptoms. Rinsing the mouth with water immediately
after using Adrenalin Chloride Solution 1:100 will help prevent the sensation
of dryness of mouth and throat which may otherwise follow.
Inhalation dosage of adults, children, and adolescents 4 years of age and
older: 1 to 3 inhalations not more often than every 3 hours.
The use of this product by children and adolescents should be supervised by
an adult.
Pediatric patients under 4 years of age: Consult a physician.
When the nebulizer contains any liquid and is not in use, it should be stoppered
and kept in an upright position. Because of oxidation, Adrenalin Chloride Solution
1:100 will turn pink to brown when exposed to air. Light, heat, alkalies, and
certain metals (eg, copper, iron, zinc) will also promote deterioration. A discolored
inhalation solution or one containing a precipitate should not be used.
