Epipen Overview

How to Use Epipen
Keep Epipen near you at all times. (See also Storage section). Different brands of Epipen have different directions for preparing and using the injector. Learn how to properly inject Epipen in advance so you will be prepared when you actually need to use it. Also teach a family member or caregiver what to do if you cannot inject the medication yourself. For infants and children, make sure to hold their leg in place before and during the injection of the medication to prevent injuries from occurring. Read the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you have to use epinephrine and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist. The effects of Epipen are rapid but not long-lasting. After injecting epinephrine, get medical help right away. Tell the healthcare professional that you have given yourself an injection of epinephrine. Avoid injecting Epipen into your hands, feet, buttocks, or areas of your body other than the thigh. If this occurs, tell the healthcare professional right away. Discard the injector properly. The solution in Epipen should be clear. Check Epipen visually for particles or discoloration from time to time. If it has turned cloudy or pink/brown in color, do not use the product. Obtain a new supply. Also, check that the product comes out of its carrying case easily before you have an emergency. If it does not, consult your pharmacist.

Epipen may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details. Epipen may contain sulfites. However, if you have a sulfite allergy, this should not be a reason for avoiding use of Epipen during an emergency. Since epinephrine can be life-saving, using it is more important than avoiding any sulfite-related problems you may experience. Before using Epipen, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history,heart conditions (e.g., coronary artery disease, arrhythmias), high blood pressure, thyroid disease, diabetes. Epipen may make you dizzy. Alcohol or marijuana (cannabis) can make you more dizzy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do anything that needs alertness until you can do it safely.
