ADULT DOSE EpiPen TO BE IN SHORT SUPPLY NEXT MONTH
The maker of the EpiPen says its adult-dose auto-injector will be in “very limited” supply in August and new stock likely won’t be available until the end of that month. Pfizer Canada says it is able to provide EpiPen Jr, but supply is limited and the injector for children is being carefully managed. EpiPen and EpiPen Jr are used to deliver an emergency shot of epinephrine to patients who are at risk or have a history of the life-threatening allergic reaction anaphylaxis.
