EpiPen is an auto-injector containing adrenaline. EpiPen is an emergency treatment in cases of life-threatening allergic reaction (with difficulty in breathing, choking, drooping blood pressure). Patients at risk for these reactions should be equipped with an EpiPen auto-injector at any moment and need to know how to use it (injection into the thigh muscle, training by an allergist or by the doctor who prescribes EpiPen). At the same time that the EpiPen is injected the emergency services should be called as immediate evacuation to the nearest emergency room is imperative, because even if the patient improves after EpiPen injection, there may be a worsening in the next few minutes.
