Your doctor has probably advised you to carry an EpiPen in case you experience an allergic reaction. Keep a good supply of these and other medical supplies on hand. As part of our pharmaceutical care in Ohio, here’s how you should use your EpiPens:

• Step 1:

  Remove the safety cover after removing the auto-injector from its casing. Keep in mind that packaging can differ from brand to brand. You can inquire about the requirements at your pharmacy.

• Step 2:

  Position the pen so that it faces your outer thigh. When you hear a clicking sound, press the needle down. Again, press firmly on the side of your thigh for three to ten seconds, depending on the brand. Ask your pharmacists for more details.

• Step 3:

  After removing the device from your thigh, dial 911. Although epinephrine is safe, you might still need additional medical attention. Keep in mind that this is not a treatment for your allergy; rather, it will help you feel better.

• Step 4:

  Monitor your symptoms and reaction. If symptoms continue or return after a while, the EpiPen may require a second dose.
