The doctor's response: "It is important to note that EpiPen is an emergency medication that can be dispensed by a pharmacist without a prescription. However, it should be recorded in the patient's file and should only be used for that person as the pharmacist will have assessed if the EpiPen is safe for the patient based on their weight. In an emergency situation, judgement must be applied. If you decide to have one with you and need to use it for someone else, I recommend contacting Emergency Services at 911 and informing them that you have an EpiPen device. They will advise you if it is appropriate and safe to use in the current situation and can also send first responders if necessary."
