A member asked:
Is it possible to die from an epipen (epinephrine)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but rare : Epinephrine is also known as adrenaline. It can make your heart beat stronger and faster. Certain individuals with pre-existing heart disease may be more prone to a heart attack or irregular heart beat but this is unusual when used for the proper indication and is more likely to save your life.
