How to store EpiPen^®

• Storing your EpiPen^® Auto-Injector properly can help keep it effective and ready to use in the event of a severe allergic reaction.

When storing EpiPen^®, follow these recommendations:

• Keep your EpiPen^® Auto-Injector at room temperature
  • Do not expose to direct sunlight
  • Do not refrigerate or freeze
  • Do not keep EpiPen^® in a vehicle during extremely hot or cold weather
• Keep your EpiPen^® Auto-Injector in its carrier tube to protect it from damage; but remember, the carrier tube is not waterproof
• Keep the blue safety cap, which helps prevent accidental injection, on until you need to use EpiPen^®
• Do not drop
• Do not keep folded paper instructions or any other objects in the carrier tube with EpiPen^®; they may prevent you from retrieving your auto-injector quickly in a severe allergic emergency
• Keep out of the reach and sight of children

Occasionally inspect the EpiPen^® solution through the viewing window.
The solution should always be clear.

Replace your EpiPen^® Auto-Injector if you see:

• Discoloured or brown solution
• Solid particles (also called precipitate)
• Any signs of leakage or damage to the carrier

Ask your pharmacist or physician about how to properly dispose of an EpiPen^® Auto-Injector that’s discoloured, used, or expired. Never try taking the auto-injector apart.
