Has anyone gotten and/or used an Auvi-Q? The size sounds so much more manageable. I saw a demo online (sorry, I don't have the link), and the voice instructions are really good.

These are the ingredients, and the only difference is the Auvi-Q contains sodium metabisulfite instead of bisulfite:

Active ingredient: epinephrine.
Inactive Ingredients: sodium chloride, sodium bisulfite, hydrochloric acid, and water.
