EpiPen Jr 0.15mg is a prescription-only emergency rescue auto-injector. Each pre-filled automatic injection device delivers a single measured dose of 0.15mg of epinephrine (adrenaline) designed specifically for infants and young children (typically weighing between 15kg and 30kg).
It is indicated for the emergency, life-saving treatment of severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) triggered by insect stings or bites, foods (such as peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, or milk), medications, latex, or unknown allergens, as well as exercise-induced anaphylaxis.
Epinephrine is a rapid-acting hormone and neurotransmitter that counters the dangerous physiological effects of an allergic shock:
Reverses Airway Constriction: It relaxes smooth muscles in the lungs, opening up tightened airways to immediately relieve wheezing and breathing difficulties.
Raises Plummeting Blood Pressure: It constricts blood vessels to counteract dangerous drops in blood pressure and shock caused by allergic vasodilation.
Reduces Swelling: It rapidly reduces swelling of the lips, tongue, throat, and face, while stopping the release of further allergic inflammatory mediators from immune cells.
Call Emergency Services: EpiPen Jr is for emergency use only. After administering the injection, call emergency services (e.g., 112 / 911) immediately or seek urgent hospital transport, even if symptoms appear to improve. A secondary "biphasic" wave of anaphylactic shock can occur hours later.
Dosage Selection: EpiPen Jr (0.15mg) is formulated for children weighing 15kg to 30kg. Children weighing 30kg or more generally require the standard adult EpiPen (0.3mg) as directed by a physician.
Never Inject into Hands or Feet: The auto-injector is designed exclusively to be plunged into the outer mid-thigh. Accidental injection into the hands, fingers, or feet can instantly cut off local blood flow and requires immediate hospital attention.
Pull off the blue safety release cap pointing the orange tip downward. (Never put fingers or hand over the orange tip).
Swing and firmly push the orange tip into the outer mid-thigh at a 90-degree angle until you hear or feel a "click".
Hold firmly in place for 3 seconds to ensure the full dose is delivered.
Remove the auto-injector (the orange needle cover automatically extends to shield the needle). Massage the injection area for 10 seconds.
Because epinephrine is a powerful stimulant, emergency administration frequently causes temporary side effects:
Rapid heartbeat (tachycardia) or heart palpitations.
Tremors, shakiness, or nervousness.
Dizziness, sweating, or mild headache.
Pale skin or anxiety.
Store at room temperature between 15°C and 25°C.
Do not refrigerate or freeze, and protect from extreme heat and direct sunlight.
Regularly check the viewing window on the device to ensure the liquid remains clear and colorless. If it is discolored or contains particles, replace it immediately.
Keep strictly accessible to caregivers, teachers, and parents, but out of reach of very young children.
Yes. In an emergency, EpiPen Jr can be injected directly through lightweight clothing (such as trousers, jeans, or skirts) into the outer mid-thigh.
Seek emergency medical assistance immediately. Stay calm, lie down with legs elevated (unless breathing is severely compromised), and bring the used EpiPen device with you to the hospital. A second injection may be required if symptoms do not improve or recur.
EpiPens typically have a shelf life of 12 to 18 months. Always check the expiration date printed on the side of the device and replace it before that date.
