Epipen Auto Injector 0.3mg & Junior 0.15mg

Anaphylaxis – a life-threatening allergic reaction – often requires immediate care. The symptoms include:

Breathing problems, including shallow and fast breathing, and wheezing.

Problems with your circulation system.

Cognitive changes.

Widespread rashes, including hives.

Swelling of the tongue and lips.

Stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting.

EpiPen injectors work by administering a measured dose of adrenaline into the user's outer thigh muscle. Adrenaline is an effective way to reduce the symptoms of an allergic reaction, as it relaxes the airway muscles and reduces swelling. It's not a cure, but the injector provides adequate time to get medical help.

Yes, EpiPens work through clothing. However, you should avoid injecting into thick materials and seams whenever possible.

EpiPens are suitable for people with proven risks of anaphylaxis. The dosage your doctor prescribes will depend on your body weight. It's essential to follow the instructions and never administer more than recommended.

Even if the injection decreases your symptoms, you should call emergency services. The effects often wear off within 20 minutes, and medical professionals will need to supervise you.

Please keep your EpiPen in a cool and dry place, away from direct heat. You should also avoid refrigerating it. Check the expiry date and never use the pen once it exceeds this date.

No, it's a single-use device. Once you use the pen, please place it in a sharps container or return it to your local pharmacy.

In the event of an accidental intravenous injection or if you inject the EpiPen into your fingers or hands, please seek medical attention.

Adrenaline in these areas can lead to adverse reactions, so it's essential to either go to the emergency department (if you can) or call an ambulance.
