A
Feedback:
Epinephrine is the adrenergic drug of choice for relief of anaphylactic shock, the most serious allergic reaction, as well as in treatment of cardiac arrest. Norepinephrine is not administered. Acetylcysteine (Mucomyst) is used for acetaminophen overdose. Dantrolene sodium is used to treat malignant hyperthermia.
