EpiPen definition and meaning

What is an "EpiPen"?

An EpiPen is a portable device used to inject a dose of epinephrine, which is a medication to ease or stop the symptoms of severe allergic reactions. It is designed for emergency use by individuals who have intense allergies to substances like peanuts, bee stings, or certain medications. The EpiPen includes a needle attached to a spring that injects a single, specific dose of epinephrine into the muscle, which can quickly ease or stop symptoms such as swelling, difficulty breathing, and low blood pressure during an allergic reaction. EpiPens are essential for providing immediate treatment and potentially saving lives in emergency situations.
