EpiPen 300micrograms shortages

April 27, 2018

There is currently a shortage of EpiPen 300micrograms in the supply chain, with no further information on future availability.

In the interim, Pharmacy have sourced an alternative product:

  • Emerade (which comes in three strengths)

Clinicians should note that the dose of Emerade for both children and adults is different to Epi-pen.

Demonstration devices are on order from the company and will be distributed to clinical areas.

However usage is very similar to other products.

The method for using an Emerade pen can be found here.

For more information and updates, please contact Sehjal Kanta on ext. 5259.
