腎上腺素
別名: Adrenalin, EpiPen, Twinject, Adrenaline, Epinephrine
藥物類別: Alpha- & Beta-Adrenergic Agonist
腎上腺素是一種用於嚴重過敏反應(過敏性休克)的救命急救藥物。 * **僅限急救使用:** 如果獸醫為您的寵物開立了預裝注射器(如 EpiPen),請僅在獸醫指示的已知嚴重過敏反應發生時使用。 * **立即就醫:** 即使在注射腎上腺素後,您也必須立即將寵物送往獸醫急診診所。藥效會很快消退,過敏反應可能會復發。 * **給藥方式:** 確保您了解獸醫示範的正確注射技巧(通常是肌肉注射或皮下注射)。 * **儲存:** 避光室溫保存。如果藥物已過期、液體變成粉紅色或棕色,或看到有懸浮微粒,**請勿使用**。
劑量必須由獸醫依你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。

可能的副作用
- Anxiety and fear
- Tremors and excitability
- Vomiting
- Hypertension (especially with overdosage)
- Cardiac arrhythmias (especially with pre-existing heart disease)
- Hyperuricemia
- Lactic acidosis (with prolonged use or overdose)
- Tissue necrosis and sloughing at the injection site (with repeated injections or injection into small appendages)
注意事項與禁忌
- Narrow-angle glaucoma
- Hypersensitivity to epinephrine
- Shock due to non-anaphylactoid causes
- During general anesthesia with halogenated hydrocarbons or cyclopropane
- During labor (may delay the second stage)
- Cardiac dilatation or coronary insufficiency
- Conditions where vasopressors are contraindicated (e.g., thyrotoxicosis, diabetes, hypertension, toxemia of pregnancy)
- Injection with local anesthetics into small appendages (toes, ears, etc.) due to risk of necrosis
- **Hypovolemia:** Epinephrine is not a substitute for adequate fluid volume replacement therapy. **Cardiac Rhythms:** Use with extreme caution in patients with a prefibrillatory cardiac rhythm due to excitatory effects on the heart. While useful in asystole, it can cause ventricular fibrillation; use cautiously in cases of existing ventricular fibrillation. **Tissue Necrosis:** Do not inject into small appendages (ears, toes, tails) as profound vasoconstriction can cause ischemic necrosis and sloughing. **Concentration Errors:** Always double-check the concentration (1:1,000 vs 1:10,000) before administration to avoid fatal overdoses.
藥物相互作用
- Alpha-blockers (phentolamine, phenoxybenzamine, prazosin): May negate the therapeutic effects of epinephrine.
- Alpha-2 agonists (detomidine, dexmedetomidine, xylazine): Do NOT use epinephrine to treat cardiac effects caused by alpha-2 agonists; may worsen hemodynamics.
- General Anesthetics (halogenated hydrocarbons, cyclopropane): Increased risk of developing severe arrhythmias. Propranolol may be used to treat if they occur.
- Antihistamines (diphenhydramine, chlorpheniramine): May potentiate the effects of epinephrine.
- Beta-blockers (propranolol): May potentiate hypertension and antagonize epinephrine's cardiac and bronchodilating effects.
- Digoxin: Increased risk of arrhythmias if used concurrently.
- Nitrates: May reverse the pressor effects of epinephrine.
- Levothyroxine: May potentiate the effects of epinephrine.
- Oxytocic agents: Hypertension may result if used concurrently.
- Other Sympathomimetic agents (isoproterenol): Should not be administered together as increased toxicity may result.
