    EpiPen (Epinephrine) Information

    EpiPen dosage

    Directions for Epipen can vary based on the specific manufacturer. Once you receive the product you should familiarize yourself with how to take your dose so you will be prepared in an emergency. Your doctor or pharmacist can help you learn how to use the pen. If you are unable to inject yourself, ensure that a family member or caregiver is trained to use it. Special care needs to be taken when using EpiPen on children.

    You should seek emergency medical attention after taking EpiPen. Doses of epinephrine have immediate effects but will not last for long periods of time. Avoid injecting the medicine anywhere other than your outer thigh. Periodically check the product for discoloration or particles. Discard the injector safely after use.

    How EpiPen works

    Epipen works by increasing blood pressure and decreasing swelling. It constricts the blood vessels which makes the muscles around the airways relax and makes breathing easier. It also prevents the chemicals that cause allergic reactions from releasing.
