'''INDICATIONS'''
* For the treatment of bronchospasm associated with [[Infectious Upper Airway Obstruction - Croup or Epiglottitis|croup]].
'''CONTRAINDICATIONS'''
* Epiglottitis, severe tachyarrhythmias.
'''PRECAUTIONS'''
* Use with antihistamines or tricyclic antidepressants may cause adverse cardiac effects.
'''DOSAGE'''
* 0.5 mg nebulized via updraft added to 3 ml of normal saline AND refer to appropriate PRACTICE PARAMETER for specific dosage.
