EpiPen has been trusted for over 25 years to treat severe allergic reactions.
The EpiPen Auto-Injector is a disposable, pre-filled automatic injection device that administers epinephrine in the event of a severe allergic reaction.
EpiPen contains epinephrine, a medication that can help decrease your body's allergic reaction by:
- Relaxing the muscles in your airways to make breathing easier
- Helping to reverse the rapid and dangerous decrease in blood pressure
- Relaxing the muscles in the stomach, intestines and bladder
In 2010, EpiPen was re-designed to make it easy for you to use in a severe allergic emergency. We have:
- Increased the size of the instructions to make them easy to read.
- Altered the shape of the body, to make it easy to grip.
- Changed the needle cover to a bright orange colour and labelled it "NEEDLE END" for quick and easy orientation.
- Made it easy to access EpiPen in an emergency by adding a flip-top cap to the carrier.
- Added an orange needle cover that automatically extends to cover the injection needle once EpiPen is removed, ensuring the needle is never exposed.
*The blue safety release and orange needle cover are designed to be easily distinguished by people who are colour blind.
