Epinephrine has three known degradation products: D-epinephrine, adrenochrome, and epinephrine sulfonate. The purpose of this study was to determine the stability of epinephrine in different environmental conditions. Epinephrine was subjected to varying storage temperatures, light exposure, pH conditions, and absence/presence of sodium metabisulfite. The results for the temperature study show increased degradation high heat and at room temperature, and was unaffected by light exposure.
