EpiPen (epinephrine) single use injections are used to treat severe allergic reactions caused by insect bites, certain foods, medications, latex, or other triggers. EpiPens work by tightening blood vessels in the body, which relax the airway muscles, allowing the patient to continue breathing during the reaction. When it comes to cost and availability, you may not have to look internationally for savings. In the U.S., there’s a generic version made by the same company that makes the brand version, and it’s much less expensive. Moms and other people can save money on brand EpiPen 0.3 mg and epinephrine by comparing EpiPen prices at Canadian and international online pharmacies with discount prices available at neighborhood U.S. pharmacies below. EpiPen sold in the U.S. is manufactured in the U.S.
