The disclosure herein relates to the innovative epinephrine formulations in aqueous solution of medicinal products that enhance the physicochemical stabilities of epinephrine and extend the product shelf life. In some instances, the formulations comprise epinephrine or a salt thereof, a complexing agent, and a “non-sulfite” antioxidant. The epinephrine formulations substantially demonstrated the superior physicochemical stabilities to conventional sulfite formulation of commercial medications currently available. In some instances, sulfite-free formulations further provide further benefit (e.g., safety benefits) to sulfite-sensitive patients. The compositions, methods for preparing the formulations, and methods of using the same (e.g., in the treatment of anaphylaxis) are also provided.
