epinephrine (systemic)
Epinephrine is an endogenous catecholamine that is the active principle of the adrenal medulla; epinephrine acts directly on both α- and β-adrenergic receptors.

norepinephrine
Norepinephrine is identical to the endogenous catecholamine that is synthesized in the adrenal medulla and in sympathetic nervous tissue; norepinephrine predominantly acts by a direct effect on α-adrenergic receptors.

octreotide (injectable)
Octreotide is a man-made protein that is similar to a hormone in the body called somatostatin. Octreotide lowers many substances in the body such as insulin and glucagon (involved in regulating blood sugar), growth hormone, and chemicals that affect digestion.
