Disclaimer: It is not my usual pattern to give the name of a specific product. I do so at this time because of the thought, that the knowledge that work is being done in this area, could be useful to any serious allergy sufferer.

SYMKEPI. Is the name of a new preparation that has won recent FDA approval for use to treat anaphylaxis. Like the “EpiPen” it requires that the substance be injected from a syringe by hand. Allegedly it will cost less than the “EpiPen”. If you or someone you know need this type of help, please discuss these new products with your medical provider.
