New look for EpiPen

August 2, 2011

THE adrenaline auto-injector products, EpiPen and EpiPen Jr now have a new look, and feature builtin needle protection before and after use. In addition the pens now include colour-coded ends and clear illustrated instructions, designed to make immediate delivery of the required dose of adrenaline in an urgent, stressful situation easier and safer. The launch comes hot on the heels of a report which found Australia is the world capital for food allergies. The study looked at results from 5,000 one year old children’s allergy skin patch tests and found that approximately 1 in every 10 of the participating children had an allergic reaction to food.
