Abstract		Urgent medical help requires prompt and efficient action. In such situations ampoule formed drugs are mainly used and some of them even have to be diluted. Drug preparation takes time particularly when dilution is needed. That is why emergency drugs in the form of prefilled syringes are used in many countries all over the world. This enables faster work as well as excludes mistakes made due to dilution. The present article presents which emergency drugs are available at the moment and forms and concentrations they exist in. At the same time it answers the question whether these drugs can be obtained in the form of prefilled syringes.
