Avatar f tn There is a small amount of sulfite in epinephrine, which is why you probably had the reaction you had at the dentists'. As you probably already know, sulfites are usually used as a perservative. Wine especially contains sulfites. It's also used to make red meats look redder and more appetizing. The list goes on and on. I sure hope you can get to the bottom of your problem!
