Severe allergic reactions can happen suddenly and become life-threatening within minutes. In such emergencies, EpiPen (Epinephrine Auto-Injector) plays a crucial role in saving lives.
What is an EpiPen?
EpiPen is an epinephrine auto-injector used for the emergency treatment of anaphylaxis, a severe and potentially fatal allergic reaction. It is designed for quick and easy self-administration, even by non-medical persons.
Epinephrine works by:
- Opening airways to help breathing
- Increasing blood pressure
- Reducing swelling and hives
- Preventing shock during allergic reactions
When is an EpiPen Used?
EpiPen is used during severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) caused by:
- Food allergies (peanuts, nuts, shellfish, milk, eggs)
- Insect stings or bites (bee, wasp)
- Medicines (antibiotics, painkillers)
- Latex allergy
- Unknown allergens
⚠️ Anaphylaxis is a medical emergency. Immediate injection and hospital care are required.
Who Should Carry an EpiPen?
You should always carry an EpiPen if you:
- Have a history of severe allergies
- Have asthma with food allergies
- Have experienced anaphylaxis earlier
- Are allergic to insect stings or specific medicines
- Have been prescribed epinephrine by your doctor
Parents of children with allergies should keep EpiPen at school, home, and during travel.
