There are many allergic reactions that can occur from a single allergen. One reaction that stands above the rest is called anaphylaxis. Like any other reactions, anaphylaxis can occur from food, drugs, bites, or stings. If symptoms persist, death is possible from lack of air or cardiac arrest. Victims with high chances of having anaphylaxis carry a device that injects adrenaline, also medically known as epinephrine, which is the primary treatment for anaphylaxis. Epinephrine, or the Epipen is going to be the main topic of discussion for today. I am going to cover three parts: the history of the Epipen, the function of the device, and the impact that it has on society.

EpiPens are arguably one of the most important devices for those to carry who suffer from life-threatening allergies.

The second article, “Can You Get a Cheaper EpiPen,” by Ginger Skinner, emphasizes on not only Mylan 's’ product, but also other generic products as well as a do-it-yourself. Both of these articles focus around the idea of an affordable, effective, and accessible off brand version of the EpiPen while also providing important side information about all of the products and risks; however, the second article offers more information about different generic products rather than just

The doctors were able to tell that my heart had developed a single pumping chamber and my aorta was smaller than my lung arteries.

In 2006 the EpiPen was developed and sold at a reasonable price until Mylan took over. “The EpiPen changed hands several times, eventually landing at the now-vilified pharmaceutical company Mylan in 2007” (Rimler). After Mylan Company finally had control of the EpiPen, which she bought $34.50 per pen, aimed at getting schools to stock

An epi-pen is typically used when a person has an allergic reaction to a substance or material. An Epi-Pen contains a drug known as epinephrine. Epinephrine is a synthetic version of adrenaline. Allergies stresses the body, consecutively, impeding the person to breath.
