I was reading the forums on this site and I saw this post and felt the need to register to respond. Adrenaline or epinephrine whatever name you would like to use is used to treat severe allergic reaction, bronchospasm (that is refractory to other treatments) and is given to patients that are in cardiac arrest. The usual dose for anaphalaxis and brochospasm is 0.3 - 0.5 mg SQ or IV. The dose for cardiac arrest varies but for an adult is usually 1 mg IV. If the epi you have is 1mg/ml it probably says "epinephrine 1:1000" on the amp. To give you an idea of how strong epi is, if you don't need it and inject it IV,IM,SQ or whatever you run the risk of causing a life threatening rhythm disturbance with your heart. There are several that you could cause and none of them are good. My advice is to throw them away, no good whatsoever will come from injecting epi. The other drug you asked about Diclofenac sodium is a non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. I don't know much about this one but Aleeve (naproxen sodium) is also in this class of drugs. They reduce swelling and relieve minor to moderate pain. I don't know why you wanted that one either, but I want to tell you to please be careful when getting or using pharmaceuticals that you are not farmiliar with.
