Pregnancy and lactation

Adrenaline has been used for years in the treatment of allergic emergencies and its use is well documented in the literature. As adrenaline is a substance that naturally occurs in the body, it is unlikely that this drug would have any detrimental effects on fertility.

Adrenaline should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the foetus.
