Correct answer: A. Epinephrine
- A. Epinephrine
- B. Hydrocortisone
- C. Succinylcholine
- D. All of the above
Explanation
Epinephrine is the immediate drug of choice in anaphylaxis because it rapidly reverses bronchospasm, vasodilation and urticaria through alpha- and beta-adrenergic effects. Hydrocortisone is only an adjunct and acts too slowly for initial rescue.
