Endo's products are the first FDA-approved and currently the only commercially available manufacturer-prepared epinephrine premixed intravenous (IV) bag
MALVERN, Pa., May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Endo, Inc. (OTCQX: NDOI) announced today the launch of ADRENALIN® (epinephrine in 0.9% sodium chloride injection) 8 mg/250 mL premixed bag and will begin shipping the product the week of May 19, 2025. ADRENALIN® is the first FDA-approved and currently the only commercially available manufacturer-prepared epinephrine premixed IV bag.
"Hospital pharmacists and healthcare providers are working harder than ever, and we are committed to supporting them with ready-to-use medicines that help reduce complexity and streamline operations so they can focus on what matters most—patient care," said Scott Sims, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Endo Injectable Solutions and Generics. "With this new ADRENALIN® premixed bag concentration, plus the additional concentrations in our pipeline, we are proud to offer options and choice through our TruDelivery® portfolio."
Key product benefits include:
No compounding or preparation required
Single-port IV tubing to reduce the risk of inadvertent mixture
24-month shelf life at room temperature
The ADRENALIN® premixed bag is part of Endo Injectable Solutions' TruDelivery® product line and platform. Ready-to-use products streamline operations for hospitals by eliminating the need to prepare or transfer the product before patient administration. This may reduce waste and costs, optimize convenience and workflow, and reduce the chance for preparation error—all of which support quality patient care.
In addition to the new 8 mg/250 mL bag, Endo offers ADRENALIN® 4 mg/250 mL premixed bag and plans to launch 5 mg/250 mL and 10 mg/250 mL concentrations. The company also offers ADRENALIN® (epinephrine injection, USP) 1 mL single-dose and 30 mL multi-dose vials.
ADRENALIN® is indicated to increase mean arterial blood pressure in adult patients with hypotension associated with septic shock.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Hypertension: Because individual response to epinephrine may vary significantly, monitor blood pressure frequently and titrate to avoid excessive increases in blood pressure. Patients receiving monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI) or antidepressants of the triptyline or imipramine types may experience severe, prolonged hypertension when given epinephrine.
Pulmonary Edema: Epinephrine increases cardiac output and causes peripheral vasoconstriction, which may result in pulmonary edema.
Cardiac Arrhythmias and Ischemia: Epinephrine may induce cardiac arrhythmias and myocardial ischemia in patients, especially patients suffering from coronary artery disease, or cardiomyopathy.
Extravasation and Tissue Necrosis with Intravenous Infusion: Avoid extravasation of epinephrine into the tissues, to prevent local necrosis. When Adrenalin is administered intravenously, check the infusion site frequently for free flow. Blanching along the course of the infused vein, sometimes without obvious extravasation, may be attributed to vasa vasorum constriction with increased permeability of the vein wall, permitting some leakage. This also may progress on rare occasions to superficial slough.
Hence, if blanching occurs, consider changing the infusion site at intervals to allow the effects of local vasoconstriction to subside. There is potential for gangrene in a lower extremity when infusions of catecholamine are given in an ankle vein.
Antidote for Extravasation Ischemia: To prevent sloughing and necrosis in areas in which extravasation has taken place, infiltrate the area with 10 mL to 15 mL of saline solution containing from 5 mg to 10 mg of phentolamine, an adrenergic blocking agent. Use a syringe with a fine hypodermic needle, with the solution being infiltrated liberally throughout the area, which is easily identified by its cold, hard, and pallid appearance. Sympathetic blockade with phentolamine causes immediate and conspicuous local hyperemic changes if the area is infiltrated within 12 hours.
Renal Impairment: Epinephrine constricts renal blood vessels, which may result in oliguria or renal impairment.
ADVERSE REACTIONS: Most common adverse reactions to systemically administered epinephrine are headache; anxiety; apprehensiveness; restlessness; tremor; weakness; dizziness; sweating; palpitations; pallor; peripheral coldness; nausea/vomiting; and/or respiratory difficulties. Arrhythmias, including fatal ventricular fibrillation, rapid rises in blood pressure producing cerebral hemorrhage, and angina have occurred.
DRUG INTERACTIONS:
Drugs that counter the pressor effects of epinephrine include alpha blockers, vasodilators such as nitrates, diuretics, antihypertensives, and ergot alkaloids.
Drugs that potentiate the effects of epinephrine include sympathomimetics, beta blockers, tricyclic antidepressants, MAO inhibitors, catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitors, clonidine, doxapram, oxytocin, levothyroxine sodium, and certain antihistamines.
Drugs that increase the arrhythmogenic potential of epinephrine include beta blockers, cyclopropane and halogenated hydrocarbon anesthetics, antihistamines, exogenous thyroid hormones, diuretics, cardiac glycosides, and quinidine. Observe for development of cardiac arrhythmias.
Potassium-depleting drugs, including corticosteroids, diuretics, and theophylline, potentiate the hypokalemic effects of epinephrine.
USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS: Elderly patients and pregnant women may be at greater risk of developing adverse reactions when epinephrine is administered parenterally.
