Epinephrine is a naturally occurring hormone and a neurotransmitter that's also known as adrenaline.

As an injectable medicine, such as EpiPen or Adrenaclick, epinephrine is used to treat life-threatening allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) caused by foods, insect bites, and other allergens.

EpiPen and Adrenaclick are pre-filled auto-injectors that deliver the drug under the skin or into the muscles of the outer thigh.

Epinephrine is also used in emergencies known as asystole, during which the heart stops beating, and to treat exercise-induced anaphylaxis.

The drug is in a class of medicines called vasopressors. It works by relaxing airway muscles and tightening blood vessels.

An injection of epinephrine quickly improves breathing, stimulates the heart, raises dropping blood pressure, reverses hives, and reduces swelling of the face, lips, and throat.

Jan. 12, 2017 -- A generic competitor to Mylan's EpiPen is now available at CVS for about one-sixth the price.

CVS will charge $109.99 for a two-pack of the generic version of Adrenaclick, a lesser-known treatment than EpiPen, which can cost more than $600, the Associated Press reported.

The products are auto-injectors that contain the hormone epinephrine and provide emergency treatment for potentially deadly allergic reactions to foods such as nuts and eggs and to insect bites and stings.

The drug store chain said it cut the price of the generic version of Adrenaclick nearly in half and that the lower price is available in all its stores. The new price applies to both insured patients and those who pay cash without coverage, and is what customers will pay at the pharmacy counter, the AP reported.

Mylan has faced severe criticism for increasing the price of its EpiPen by more than 500 percent since 2007. The company introduced a generic product in December, which costs $300 for a two-pack.
