Mechanism of action

Epinephrine binds to alpha-1, alpha-2, beta-1, and beta-2 adrenergic receptors on target tissues. This activation increases cardiac contractility and heart rate (beta-1), causes vasoconstriction (alpha-1), and promotes bronchial smooth muscle relaxation (beta-2). The 0.07 concentration indicates a dilute formulation typically used for local or systemic administration.
