EpiPens are dispensed as a two-pack because health
professionals believe that people who are at risk for anaphylaxis should always
carry two doses of epinephrine as an emergency back-up.
An EpiPen should be administered when there are visible signs
and symptoms of anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction.
NOTE: Epinephrine injections are ALWAYS given in the outer thigh. Epinephrine injections are not a substitute for emergency medical care. ALWAYS call 911 when you or someone you know has been exposed to a life-threatening allergen.
Watch this blog for
upcoming training seminars to learn how to safely administer an epinephrine
injector. Learn to save a life!
Keep out of the nut house!
