What is a Generic Drug?
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Product Details
Description
Emerade Injection (Adrenaline Tartrate) is an auto-injector medication used for the emergency treatment of severe acute allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis. It delivers a single dose of adrenaline to help relieve symptoms like swelling and difficulty breathing. The injection can also be used for exercise-induced anaphylaxis. It acts rapidly by stimulating the sympathetic nervous system and is often carried by individuals with known severe allergies.
Directions
To use the Emerade Injection, start by removing the cap from the autoinjector. Place the tip of the injector against the outer thigh, making sure it's perpendicular to the skin. Press firmly until the needle is released. Keep the injector in place for 5 seconds to allow the Adrenaline to be fully administered. After removing the injector, gently massage the injection site for a few seconds. If needed, call emergency services or 112 immediately.
Always follow the dosage prescribed by a healthcare professional. Keep the injector away from bright light and heat, and never freeze it. Regularly check the expiration date to ensure its effectiveness.
Ingredients
Emerade Injection contains Adrenaline Tartrate as its active ingredient.
Contraindications
There are no known contraindications for Emerade stated on the drug label.
Cautions
- Before beginning treatment with Emerade, be sure to inform your healthcare provider about the following:
- Any medical conditions you currently have
- Any allergies
- All medications you are currently taking
- Whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Only remove the cap from Emerade when you’re ready to use it. Always inject it into the side of your thigh and never into your buttocks to avoid accidentally injecting it into a vein.
- Emerade is meant for emergency situations to help you when you’re having a severe allergic reaction. After using it, make sure to get medical help right away.
- Make sure you and the people close to you (like family members or caregivers) know exactly how and when to use Emerade. Proper training is essential for effective use during emergencies.
- If you have a lot of fat in the area where you inject Emerade, the medicine might take longer to work. This could mean you might need to use a second dose if your symptoms don’t improve quickly.
- Don’t inject Emerade into your hands or feet. Doing so can block blood flow and may require medical treatment to fix.
- Emerade contains sodium metabisulphite, which can cause serious allergic reactions like anaphylaxis, especially if you have asthma. If you experience symptoms like difficulty breathing, swelling, or a severe rash, stop using Emerade and seek emergency help immediately.
- Some medications can make Emerade’s effects stronger. If you’re taking drugs like antidepressants, heart medications, or diabetes treatments, talk to your doctor about how they might interact with Emerade.
- If you’re pregnant, Emerade should only be used if the benefits outweigh the risks to your baby. It’s unlikely to affect a nursing baby, but consult your doctor before using it while breastfeeding.
- After using Emerade, you might feel weak or dizzy from the allergic reaction. It’s best not to drive or operate heavy machinery until you’re feeling better.
Side Effects
Side effects of the Emerade pen include headaches, dizziness, and tremors. You might also feel anxious or notice an increase in sweating. Some people experience palpitations, which is a feeling of a fast or irregular heartbeat, or general tiredness. These side effects are usually mild and often go away as your body adjusts to the medication.
Emerade may lead to serious side effects that require immediate medical attention. These include a rapid heart rate (tachycardia), irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), and chest pain. High blood pressure (hypertension) and severe difficulty breathing or wheezing may also occur. If you experience any of these symptoms, such as severe dizziness, trouble breathing, or swelling of the face and throat, stop using Emerade and seek emergency medical help right away.
