Does this use the same autoinjector as the EpiPen? Because as I understand it generic epinephrine autoinjectors already exist, but they use a different autoinjector technology that isn't as easy to use as an EpiPen.
Edit: We talked about them when we were using the EpiPen trainers in the first aid class I took.
- Symmetry 8y agoThe main barrier to other auto-injectors, as I understand it, is that doctor's prescriptions for "EpiPens" couldn't be used to purchase them. With these that apparently isn't the case.
- cryptonector 8y agoMind you, the patient could ask for a prescription for the alternative products, and the doctor could suggest it. If the patient doesn't, it's probably out of ignorance. If the doctor doesn't... it could be ignorance too.
