epinephrine auto-injector

An epinephrine auto-injector is a portable device used to treat severe allergic reactions, known as anaphylaxis. It quickly delivers a measured dose of epinephrine (adrenaline), which helps open airways, reduce swelling, and improve blood flow. These devices are designed for easy, rapid use during emergencies, often featuring a safety cap and a spring mechanism. They are essential for people with diagnosed severe allergies, providing lifesaving treatment until emergency medical help arrives. Proper training on how to use the auto-injector is important for effective and safe administration.
