A member asked:

How long can the side effects of epinephrine last?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Peter Kurzweil answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Minutes to hours: The Epinephrine will be metabolized rather quickly by the liver/renal drug metabolism system, then rendering it ineffective. However, the side effects may last longer, such as rapid pulse, feeling of palpitations, headache, increased blood pressure .... But generally we are talking minutes.
