Important Safety Information
EpiPen Auto-Injectors contain a single dose of epinephrine, which you
inject into your outer thigh. DO NOT INJECT INTO YOUR VEIN, BUTTOCK,
FINGERS, TOES, HANDS OR FEET. In case of accidental injection, please
seek immediate medical treatment. Epinephrine should be used with
caution if you have heart disease or are taking certain medicines that
can cause heart-related (cardiac) symptoms.
Tell your doctor if you have certain medical conditions such as asthma,
depression, thyroid disease, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, high blood
pressure and heart disease, have any other medical conditions, are
pregnant or plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding or plan to

especially medicines for asthma. If you have certain medical conditions,
or take certain medicines, your condition may get worse or you may have
longer lasting side effects when you take the EpiPen or EpiPen Jr Auto
Injector.
The most common side effects may include increase in heart rate,
stronger or irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea and vomiting,
difficulty breathing, paleness, dizziness, weakness or shakiness,
headache, apprehension, nervousness or anxiety. These side effects
usually go away quickly, especially if you rest.
