They usually have an Epipen or a Twinject on them and they contain epinephrine, a drug used for anaphylactic shock.
Why is penicillin rarely prescribed today?
Penicillin is rarely used now a days. It is because it can cause anaphylactic reaction in few patients. Patient can die instantly out of this reaction. Even a test dose can lead to the death of the patient. Patient becomes unconscious in seconds. Patient gets severe spasm of the tracheobronchial tree and the blood pressure falls down. Pulse may not be felt at all. Nobody will like to take the risk of anaphylactic reaction of the penicillin. Never the less penicillin is still the life saving drug.
Neutron moderation is used to counteract what?
the minimal chance that newly formed neutrons of a fission reaction are absorbed by more atoms. (apex)
Why is epinephrine used in anapylactic shock?
Epinephrine is used in anaphylactic shock because it helps to quickly reverse severe allergic reactions by constricting blood vessels, increasing heart rate, and opening up the airways. This can counteract the dangerous drop in blood pressure and difficulty in breathing that occurs during anaphylaxis.
What is the treatment if you have had anaphylactic reaction to Prednisone and benadryl?
Anaphylactic reactions to prednisone and Benadryl aren't common, but both are possible. In the case that true anaphylaxis is occurring, epinephrine is given followed by oxygen. This is usually followed by the administration of steroids and antihistamines. If a person is allergic to both prednisone and Benadryl, supportive measures and alternative medications can be used.

Define anaphylactic shock?
AnswerAnaphylactic reactions are general, dramatic reactions that can result in collapse and possibly death. It is caused by a sudden release of histamines and other chemicals that overwhelm the body. The onset is usually quite rapid and symptoms occur within minutes. Death can potentially occur immediately or within two hours. The first sign may be tightness of throat, swelling and redness of the skin or may be a non-visible internal reaction such as swelling of the airway, a drop in blood pressure, shock, or nausea. The allergic person may also have a feeling of great anxiety.Immediate action is needed. Persons who know they are prone to these reactions (allergies to peanuts, shellfish, and insect stings can be of this type), should consult with their doctor about a small emergency kit to carry with them. This kit will usually have antihistamines and Epinephrine [The most common Epinephrine is the UK Epipen]. For this type of reaction, call for medical help [ambulance] immediately. Minutes are vital.Standard treatments used to control the reaction are epinephrine, oxygen, and intravenous fluids. Antihistamines and corticosteroids can also be used. The person needs to be under medical supervision until the reaction is under control.In other words, when you have an anaphylactic reaction(as a sufferer of one as well) it is when several reactions happens such as hives, wheezing rashes and suffercation. The person having the anaphylactic reaction will be in great pain but should be carrying an Eppipen which is a spring loaded shot of adrenaline.
