How to use the EpiPen

1. Pull off gray safety cap




2. Place black tip on outer thigh (always apply to thigh)



3. Using a quick motion, press hard into thigh until Auto-Injector mechanism functions.  Hold in place and count to 10.  The EpiPen unit should then be removed and discarded.  Massage the injection area for 10 seconds.



How to Dispose an EpiPen

After using an EpiPen, throw away the gray cap. Place a penny in the bottom of the plastic tube, slip the EpiPen into the tube, and close it. Return the used EpiPen to your doctor for disposal.
