EpiPen® is a unique, cartridge based auto-injector containing adrenaline, the first-line treatment for severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis). Immediate access to an EpiPen® Auto-Injector is critical. At the onset of anaphylaxis, you can quickly and easily
self-administer EpiPen® in two simple steps, providing time to seek life-saving medical assistance.
EpiPen® comes safely housed in a convenient, flip top carrier case, ensuring full protection and portability.
The point of change is NOT determined by age. It is based on the weight of the child. In New Zealand the Medsafe approved guidelines are that EpiPen® Junior is suitable for children 15-30kg. Once the child is over 30kg in weight, they should be changed over to EpiPen® Adult.
The Australian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA) have slightly different guidelines and there are some healthcare professionals in New Zealand who choose to work with the ASCIA guidelines. The ASCIA guidelines state that EpiPen® Junior is suitable for children weighing 10-20kg and once the child is over 20kg in weight, an adult EpiPen® should be used.
Your doctor or allergy specialist will determine which EpiPen® is right for your child. If you are in doubt please contact your healthcare professional.
