Thread: First aid kit pics

Not a bad option in areas with high numbers of wasps or if travelling with people who have allergies.

Cheaper than an epi pen and 3x the dose.
Should be available at most chemists

Whats that kit cost if you don't mind me asking ? . Im told by the Tutor at my First aid course that Epi pens are around $200 and the US patent holder is putting the cost up 300 % (his exact words ) . I hope he's wrong

My boss brought them so not exactly sure but they were definitely under $50. We just did an anaphylaxis course at work and the tutor said the ampoule alone is about $30.

One shot with an epipen is rarely enough, when it wears off you're back in the same position again so it's well worth taking in some ampules and syringe as well to last until help can arrive or you manage to get out.

You can get ampules of adrenaline on prescription for $5 according to my pharmacist wife.
