How should I use this medicine?
Epinephrine is for injection under the skin, into a muscle or into a vein. Injections can be given by a health care professional in a clinic or hospital setting. An auto-injector form is available for self-administration by patients who suffer a severe allergic response to certain stimuli. Read the directions carefully so that you will know how to use the auto-injector properly. Do not remove the safety cap until you are ready to use the auto-injector. When you need to use it, remove the gray cap. Place the black tip on the thigh at a right angle to your leg. Press the tip hard into your leg until the automatic injection functions. Hold in place for several seconds and then remove and safely throw away. Massage your leg for 10 seconds. Do not use more often than directed.
