EXTREME CAUTION:

CAUTION: Epinephrine is a vasoconstrictor and a bronchodilator, in certain cases it can be extremely dangerous. The first vasoconstricting effect is required to control the rapid onset of shock (without the presence of bronchospasms) caused to certain individuals by a severe allergic reaction. The severity of the shock varies according to the type of

allergin and the person.

If you accidentally inject yourself with a dose, you have now become a Load and Go patient.  Consult the emergency services immediately, it is impossible to know how you will react to the injection. You may experience a vasoconstriction causing necrosis. If you

injected yourself in a finger, toe, penis or nose you could potentially lose it. Even worse, you may have infected yourself with a tainted needle (refer to Infectious Diseases and Prevention on page 3-1)
