• 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
