EpiPen® and EpiPen® Jr Auto-Injectors are indicated for the emergency treatment of anaphylactic reactions in patients who are determined to be at increased risk for anaphylaxis, including
individuals with a history of anaphylactic reactions. They are intended for immediate self-administration for the emergency treatment of severe allergic reactions (Type I), including anaphylaxis
associated with foods, stinging and biting insects, medications, latex, other allergens, and for idiopathic and exercise-induced anaphylaxis. Selection of the appropriate dosage strength is
determined according to patient body weight.
There are no absolute contraindications to the use of epinephrine in a life-threatening allergic situation. Epinephrine use should be avoided in patients with cardiogenic, traumatic, or hemorrhagic
shock; cardiac dilation; and/or cerebral arteriosclerosis. Epinephrine use should be avoided in patients with organic brain damage and in patients with narrow-angle glaucoma. Administer with
caution to elderly or hyperthyroid individuals, pregnant women, and individuals with cardiovascular disease or diabetes.
Adverse reactions of epinephrine include transient, moderate anxiety; feelings of over stimulation; apprehensiveness; restlessness; tremor; weakness; shakiness; dizziness; sweating; tachycardia;
palpitations; pallor; nausea and vomiting; headache; and/or respiratory difficulties.
EpiPen® and EpiPen® Jr Auto-Injectors are designed as emergency supportive therapy only. They are not a replacement or
substitute for subsequent medical or hospital care, nor are they intended to supplant insect venom hyposensitization.
