The preferred medicine for controlling a severe reaction. Epinephrine is also known as adrenaline.

Epinephrine, also called "adrenaline," is the medication of choice for controlling a severe reaction. It is available by prescription as a self-injectable device (EpiPen® or Twinject®).

So fun that you're doing this!!

Epinephrine...I agree with everyone else in that I think you're great to help us all be more aware of food allergies! :)

EpiPen® and EpiPen Jr® Auto-Injectors (0.3 and 0.15 mg epinephrine) are for the emergency treatment of severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis).

Great contest and creative ways to raise awareness Ashley! I wish you much luck w/ your daughter and hope we can be a resource to you and your family. I'm so glad you were able to attend the support meeting w/ Dr. Hendershot - he's amazing!

...if I had known you were directing so many people to the FAQ page on our website I would have had it looking better! :)
