Title: Epipen
Post by jbean on 02/07/11 at 14:35:47

Hello,

I went to the pharmacy today to get a new epipen, and they gave me some generic instead. I don't like the packaging, looks hard to open. Has anyone used generic epipens? This one is from Greenstone. I think I will ask my allergist to write me a script specifically for a regular epipen.

Wow... I didn't know there was such a thing! :-?

I wound up taking it back to the pharmacy. It looked like it would be hard to open in an emergency, or maybe I am just a goofball and couldn't figure it out.

The pharmacy gave me a regular one.
