* Process of action
* The drug acts through stimulation and relaxation of nerves and muscles.
* The drug also acts as an inhibitor, such as in preventing laryngeal edema.
* Application
* It' used to control muscle movements by mimicking the stimulation action of different drugs on nerve receptors.
* It prevents acute asthmatic attacks by stimulating the alpha and beta receptors in the airways.
* Inhibits the release of histamine which affects the normal contraction of airways.
* Prevents the effects of subglottic edema after endotheachal extubation.
* Drug Functioning

Racemic Epinephrine
Description
Different medical databases and journals have defined the drug as "a racemic mixture of epinephrine that is used a bronchodilator," (Cornfield, 2014). This is another important observation and classification that defines the drug as bronchodilator, which is used to treat receptors in the airways. This is a condition that is as a result of asthmatic attacks that blocks and stiffness the airways. The necessity is developing the counter agent that relaxes the muscles and prevents breathing difficulties during excessive exercises. More importantly, many doctors have recommended the Racemic Epinephrine to be used in various situations that are important and essential in counterattacking the effects of Croup that can lead to extensive cases of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Thus, it offers extra support to the many different actions and inhibitions that result from asthmatic attacks, (Cornfield, 2014). The drug provides the necessary agents that acts as a basis for relaxing and stimulating the alpha and beta receptors. Therefore, it is important and necessary to administer this drug as offered and described by physicians, due to the nature of the contents and r...
