I don't have a big allergy, but I know someone who had a very big reaction the other day! I was wondering if everyone can get epipens? :o It scares me! You never know when it might happen, even though mine are really mild!

my meds : celexa , rivotril, xarelto, melatonin , breo ellipta , ventolin ;)

Hello,

Epipen has been available without prescription for a very long time, so anyone can get it. You just have to ask the drug company for it.

Please note that Epipen should not be used in all types of allergic reactions, but in cases of anaphylactic reaction. Here is a link from Allergie Québec that describes the symptoms to watch for: https://allergies-alimentaires.org/symptomes-de-l-anaphylaxie/

J'ai gradué de l'Université Laval en 2015. J'ai choisi le métier de pharmacienne car je suis une personne qui aime les défis et être challengée. Je vois dans l'initiative ''Question pour un pharmacien'' un moyen supplémentaire d'aider les gens et de combattre la désinformation sur internet. Les pharmaciens sont des personnes engagées ayant la santé de leurs patients à cœur. Il ne suffit parfois que de demander. Ainsi, n'hésitez-pas à poser vos questions ou à venir en personne à ma pharmacie. Au plaisir !
