Adrenaliiniruiskua refers to an adrenaline auto-injector, a medical device commonly known by brand names such as EpiPen. This device is designed for the emergency treatment of severe allergic reactions, also known as anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening condition that can be triggered by allergens like certain foods, insect stings, or medications.

The auto-injector contains a pre-measured dose of epinephrine (adrenaline), a hormone that can counteract the symptoms of anaphylaxis. When administered, epinephrine works quickly to constrict blood vessels, relax airway muscles, and stabilize heart rate, helping to reverse the dangerous effects of the allergic reaction. The device is designed for easy self-administration by individuals who have been trained, or by a bystander, in an emergency situation. It typically consists of a spring-loaded needle that automatically injects the medication when pressed firmly against the outer thigh. Proper training on how to use the device is crucial for effective and safe administration. It is important for individuals with known severe allergies to carry an adrenaline auto-injector with them at all times and to ensure it is not expired. Medical professionals prescribe these devices and provide instructions on their use.
