Description

EpiPen administers a dose of adrenaline, also known as epinephrine, to control symptoms of anaphylaxis and get the reaction under control.

What is an EpiPen?

It is designed for easy use by the lay person and has to be considered as first aid. EpiPen® auto-injector delivers a single dose 0.3 ml injection equal to 0.3 mg adrenaline when activated. The usual adrenaline adult dose for allergic emergencies is 0.3 mg.
An initial dose should be administered as soon as symptoms of anaphylaxis are recognised. In the absence of clinical improvement or if deterioration occurs after the initial treatment, a second injection with an additional EpiPen® auto-injector may be administered 5 – 15 minutes after the first injection. It is recommended that patients are prescribed two EpiPen® auto-injectors which they should carry at all times.

EpiPen® auto-injectors are automatic injection devices containing adrenaline for allergic emergencies.

The symptoms of a severe allergic reaction (also known as anaphylaxis) can including:

  • Feeling lightheaded or faint
  • Breathing difficulties – such as fast, shallow breathing
  • Wheezing
  • A fast heartbeat
  • Clammy skin
  • Confusion and anxiety
  • Collapsing or losing consciousness

EpiPen administers a dose of adrenaline, also known as epinephrine, to control symptoms of anaphylaxis and get the reaction under control.

Adrenaline is considered the first-line drug of choice for allergic emergencies. If used, seek immediate medical assistance.

Delivery & Returns

Delivery: Dispatch and delivery depend on stock, cleared payment, customer eligibility and any required prescription or pharmacy checks. Delivery estimates are not guarantees. See our Shipping and Delivery Policy.

Returns: Because storage history, product integrity, traceability and chain of custody cannot be verified after regulated healthcare goods leave our control, medicines, cold-chain goods, sterile products, injectables and other regulated products cannot normally be returned after dispatch. This does not affect remedies for goods supplied incorrectly, damaged or defective. See our Returns and Refunds Policy.

Cold chain: Temperature-sensitive products must be received promptly and transferred to the required storage conditions. If damage or a suspected temperature excursion is identified, quarantine the goods, retain all packaging and contact Longeva Pharma before use.
