Medication Description

Epinephrine, commonly known by the brand name EpiPen, is a life-saving emergency medication used to treat anaphylaxis—a severe, potentially fatal allergic reaction that can occur within minutes of exposure to an allergen. These triggers may include food, insect stings, medications, or other environmental allergens.

Epinephrine works by narrowing blood vessels and opening airways in the lungs, reversing the most dangerous symptoms of anaphylaxis such as throat swelling, shortness of breath, hives, and low blood pressure. Because anaphylaxis can escalate rapidly, epinephrine must be administered immediately at the onset of symptoms.

How to Use:

Following your healthcare providers directions, EpiPen is most often administered as an intramuscular injection into the outer thigh (through clothing if needed)

Each device contains a single, pre-measured dose based on the weight of the individual

Call 911 and seek emergency medical care immediately

Warnings:

Use only in patients with a known history of anaphylaxis or at risk of severe allergic reaction unless otherwise directed by a healthcare provider

Individuals must be trained in proper administration

A second dose may be required if symptoms persist after the first injection
Side effects

Side effects may include dizziness, shakiness, nervousness or sweating.
