Epinephrine Autoinjectors

Epinephrine autoinjectors are medical devices used to treat severe allergic reactions, known as anaphylaxis. They deliver a specific dose of epinephrine, a hormone that quickly reverses the symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as difficulty breathing, swelling, and low blood pressure. The device is designed for easy use, allowing individuals to self-administer the medication by pressing it against their thigh. It is vital for those with known severe allergies to carry an epinephrine autoinjector, as timely administration can be lifesaving during an emergency. After use, medical help should be sought immediately.
