EPINEPHRINE AUTO-INJECTORS

Epipen / Epipen Jr.
Epinephrine Auto-Injectors.

   Now for any allergic emergency

   Epipen. Epinephrine Autoinjectors are designed to provide fast, reliable self administered first-aid for potentially fatal anaphylactic reactions in sensitive individuals. Indications include all types of allergic emergencies such as insect bites and stings, food reactions, drug reactions, and idiopathic or exercise-induced anaphylaxis.

   Note: anaphylactoid reactions do not exist. Do not wait. Use Epipen intramuscularly, inmmediately. 

   The compact Epipen Auto-injector is easily carried in the patient´s pocket or purse and is always ready for immediate use (Even if you are not allergic). No prior filling, assembly or preparation is necessary. A concealed  spring-activated needle penetrates the skin with little or no sensation and minimizes apprehension and resistance to self-injection.

   In use, The Epipen Autoinjector is activated by simply push when held against the thigh, instantly delivering the appropiate dose of epinephrine. A safety cap (remove before using) prevents accidental discharge, and a transparent area in the label permits inspection of the contents for discoloration (replace if solution discolored).

   Available in two strengths

   Epipen Auto-injectors are available in two strengths: Epipen (yellow label) delivers 0.3 mg Epinephrine 1:1000. Epipen Jr. (white label) delivers 0.15 mg Epinephrine 1: 2000. Each Epipen es packaged with instructions for emergency use and helpful suggestions to avoid Hymenoptera stings.

   Note: Anaphylaxis, in case of doubt, use Epinephrine.

   Now any allergic emergency is an indication for Epipen. Epinephrine Auto-injectors.

   Epinephrine is adrenalin. Use it at once in case of Anaphylaxis.

   Adrenaline: British designation for epinephrine.

   Expiration Alert Program:

   Center´s Expiration Alert Program helps insure that patients will always have fresh , unexpired Epipen  unit on hand to provide the protection they require. Every Epipen comes with an Expiration Alert Registration of the Patient Package Insert. 

Currently, epinephrine is available using a portable "credit card"- like- device that needs  approval.
