Patients may have noticed that the Epi-Pen now looks different. The "old" epipen was completely circular with grey safety and black cap.
The new epipen has a blue safety and an auto-injector orange cap that automatically expands to cover the needle after use to prevent accidental needle stick. Also, the instructions on use is much easier to read as the shape of the epipen is oblong instead of circular. Much better overall design in my mind!
All our patients on allergy shots are given epipen to have on hand in case of anaphylactic reaction.
