Emerade, Jext and Epipen are all on formulary. No one device is preferred due to the numerous supply problems seen with these devices. However, please note the following:
- Information on quantity to supply and advice for prescribers and patients is available here:
https://www.eastkentformulary.nhs.uk/media/1655/prescribing-of-adrenaline-auto-injectors.pdf - Ensure that people with allergies and their carers have been trained to use the particular auto-injector that they have been prescribed – technique varies between injectors.
