The Allerject injection is an emergency anaphylaxis treatment medication that is used to prevent a person from going into anaphylactic shock. This can be in response to exposure to severe allergens like insect stings or bites, foods, or medications that the person is allergic too but has been unable to avoid for whatever reason. Epinephrine is a sympathomimetic drug that will reverse the effects of drastic drops in blood pressure, breathing difficulties, dangerously accelerated heart rate, or other possible symptoms of anaphylaxis. You can buy Allerject with a prescription here at Canpharm.
