EpiPen

An EpiPen is a portable device that delivers a precise dose of epinephrine (adrenaline) quickly during a severe allergic reaction, known as anaphylaxis. When someone experiences symptoms like difficulty breathing, swelling, or a sudden drop in blood pressure, the EpiPen is used to help restore normal breathing, increase blood pressure, and reduce swelling. It’s designed to be easy to use, often requiring a simple injection into the thigh muscle, providing critical relief until emergency medical treatment can be received.
