Here’s a helpful hint if you have children with allergies who suffer from anaphylaxis. You will already know that life-saving Epipen or Epipen Junior is very expensive. They are absolutely essential but not subsidised by Pharmac, and through your GP or local pharmacy they cost close to $200. The Epipen expires after a year, whether it has been used or not, and has to be replaced. If it is used during an anaphylactic attack, you must dispose of it and purchase another. I have just discovered that you can purchase one for $144.90 from www.allergypharmacy.co.nz including courier delivery. I ordered online and it arrived two days later in perfect condition i.e. protective wrapping and temperature controlled. Parents of allergy sufferers, especially those with anaphylaxis, are under a lot of stress, so even a small saving on essential products cheers you up. The site also sells a range of other products for allergy sufferers. Check it out!
