EpiPen Refills
What is an EpiPen?
EpiPens are used for the self-injection of epinephrine, the first-line treatment for allergic emergencies. Common symptoms of an allergic emergency include hives, redness of the skin, tightness in the throat, breathing problems and/or a decrease in blood pressure. Allergic emergencies can be caused by triggers such as food, stinging and biting insects, medicines, latex, or even exercise.
If you are treated at Healthcare Clinic for an allergic response the provider may discuss with you the need to have an EpiPen prescribed for future emergencies. You will be instructed when and how to use the EpiPen in an emergency situation.
