Can heat truly have an impact on the effectiveness of the Epipen?

It is important to store the Epipen at room temperature (around 77 degrees Fahrenheit) to ensure its effectiveness. If the Epipen is exposed to higher temperatures, there is a risk that it may not work properly when needed. Some companies offer insulated pouches to help maintain the appropriate temperature for the Epipen. If you are in a hot climate, it is important to take extra precautions to protect the Epipen from heat exposure and ensure it remains effective during an allergic reaction emergency.
