A member asked:
Is there a way to administer epinephrine non-intravenously?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Can be given subcutaneously like epi pens for allergy, direct intraarterial but very rare, and in endotracheal tubes. They are used as injections to control bleeding sometimes from peptic ulcer bleeding or bronchial bleeding in the lungs.
