Tell your healthcare professional if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away. These side effects usually go away quickly if you lie down and rest. Ĭommon side effects include fast, irregular or “pounding” heartbeat, sweating, nausea or vomiting, breathing problems, paleness, dizziness, weakness, shakiness, headache, feelings of over excitement, nervousness or anxiety. If you have certain medical conditions, or take certain medicines, your condition may get worse or you may have longer lasting side effects when you use EPIPEN or EPIPEN JR.

Be sure to also tell your healthcare professional all the medicines you take, especially medicines for asthma.

Tell your healthcare professional about all of your medical conditions, especially if you have asthma, a history of depression, thyroid problems, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, high blood pressure or heart problems, have any other medical conditions, are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. Call your healthcare professional right away if you have any of the following at an injection site: redness that does not go away, swelling, tenderness, or the area feels warm to the touch. Rarely, patients who have used EPIPEN or EPIPEN JR may develop an infection at the injection site within a few days. In case of accidental injection, please seek immediate medical treatment. Hold the leg of young children firmly in place before and during injection to prevent injuries. Do not inject into your veins, buttocks, fingers, toes, hands or feet. EPIPEN or EPIPEN JR should only be injected into the middle of your outer thigh (upper leg), through clothing if necessary. Only a healthcare professional should give additional doses of epinephrine if you need more than two injections for a single anaphylactic episode. Use EPIPEN (epinephrine injection, USP) 0.3 mg or EPIPEN JR (epinephrine injection, USP) 0.15 mg Auto-Injectors right away when you have an allergic emergency (anaphylaxis). IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (the following information applies to both EPIPEN and its Authorized Generic)
