Many of us have been lo<span id="goog_2130434130"></span><span id="goog_2130434131"></span>oking forward to getting the new smaller
epinephrine auto injector talking device and now that it became available, are we
ready to let go of the larger but so familiar Epipens inside their tubes? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What really matters is for parents to ensure that their children always carry the Epipen’s on them.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What if you can't decide which auto injector to carry? If
you have been carrying the epi’s inside a carrier that attaches to your
clothing, or inside the pockets of your cargo pants, then you have
nothing to worry about. Actually, you can have both sets and alternate carrying them as you wish. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
The hope most parents and those supporting the self carry epinephrine
policies, is that the new smaller devises help increase the number of
overall individual with anaphylaxis allergies carrying epinephrine
auto injectors on them.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
There are two great companies making available two great epinephrine
auto injectors. The Epipen and Auvi-Q are basically the same product.
Medication is exactly the same just a different auto injection
mechanism. Choose the one you feel more comfortable with, and self carry
them at all times.<br />
<br />
Anaphylaxis allergic reactions don't discriminate. They can happen anytime anywhere and 911 can't get to you fast enough. There are various epicarriers to choose from. Make sure it attaches to your body or your clothing.<br />
<br />
The waistbuddy case and the legbuddy leg holster holds two Epipens or
two Auvi-Q.<br />
<br />
No more excuses!<br />
GO FOR IT! Carry your epi’s with style.</div>

Few years ago the concern was that inhalers contained soy, then peanuts. Were peanuts part of the inactive ingredients in albuterol inhalers or was it all a confusion? There was never a clear answer.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21.00792121887207px; margin-bottom: 1.154em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Throughout the years we have been told that asthma pumps do not contain peanuts, but then many allergists started recommending to administer the albuterol with a nebulizer just to be “on the safe side”. Safe for many means to stay away from albuterol and all asthma pumps and have opted for carrying a battery operated portable nebulizer.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21.00792121887207px; margin-bottom: 1.154em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
What about milk? Like many moms, I never stop asking doctors and pharmacists about asthma and allergy medications inactive ingredients, and calling pharmaceutical companies wondering if they might contain milk. After two years of trying to figure out what was causing these horrible huge skin hives, and imputing in an Excel Sheet Document everything eaten or touched, I was convinced that Singular had some milk protein ingredient. I still can’t assure you if it does, but 48 hours after stopping the medication the hives disappeared forever.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21.00792121887207px; margin-bottom: 1.154em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Who can you trust? Who do you ask? If you or someone you care for has #food allergies, ask your doctor, ask the pharmacist, call the manufacturers and always stay vigilant. Unfortunately, medicines including those recommended for allergies could contain food allergen ingredients. Never stop asking, nor researching the ingredients of your medications since these could change especially if they are sold over the counter.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21.00792121887207px; margin-bottom: 1.154em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
What causes #Food allergies continues to be an unsolved puzzle. What can trigger an allergic reaction could be millions of products. Accidents due to accidental exposure and ingestion of food allergens always happen when you least expect it.</div>

Having immediate access to your <a href="http://omaxcare.com/what_is_epinephrine.html">#Epipen’s</a> or <a href="http://omaxcare.com/foodallergyhubmagazine.html">#Auvi-Q’s</a> is the best thing you can do to help stop anaphylaxis. Please remember to always self carry #epinephrine auto injectors on you. Not inside a backpack or a bag, but inside a piece of garment that you can wear all day long.</div>

<b>Twin brothers Eric and Evan Edwards</b> grew up with severe food allergies and having to self carry Epipen's at all times motivated them to create the <a href="http://omaxcare.com/AuviQ_new_epinephrine.html">Auvi-Q</a>. rectangular devise. The Epipen and Auvi-Q contain the same drug <a href="http://omaxcare.com/what_is_epinephrine.html">epinephrine</a>, which can help stop a severe allergic reaction, known as <a href="http://omaxcare.com/what_is_anaphylaxis.html">anaphylaxis</a> from becoming fatal.<br />
<br />
<br />
The brothers had the idea of creating a smaller and easier to carry epinephrine auto injector devise and they geared their studies in fields that would help them reach their goal. Evan chose engineering, studying at the University of Virginia. Eric
pursued a medical path, eventually earning a doctorate in pharmaceutical
sciences from Virginia Commonwealth University. <br />

One of the courses Evan chose was an invention and design class taught
by Larry G. Richards, an engineering professor at the University of
Virginia, where students were encouraged to share their ideas with one
another. Working with Mr. Richards and another professor he kept working on his idea of creating a rectangular devise and was awarded a college inventors grant that provided the
initial start-up financing that help start the project. After college, the brothers
founded a company, Intelliject, to bring their idea to market <br />
with the investments from family and friends.</div>

<div itemprop="articleBody">
The product evolved as the years passed, retaining its rectangular
profile but integrating other innovative features along the way. Eric had the idea
of adding voice instructions to help others use the device in situations
where they might be too panicked to read written instructions. A
retractable needle was also added later, with the thought that patients
would be more comfortable if they didn’t have to see it. </div>

In 2009, Intelliject licensed the product to Sanofi for
an initial payment of $25 million and up to $205 million in future
milestone payments and royalties. The Food and Drug Administration
approved the Auvi-Q in summer 2012.</div>
<br />
The brothers idea resulted in the invention of a slim device shaped like a smartphone with automated voice instructions that became available for consumers to buy in the US in January 2013. <a href="http://omaxcare.com/AuviQ_new_epinephrine.html"></a><br />
<br />
The launch of Auvi-Q marked the culmination of an amazing
quest the Edwards brothers began 15 years ago. Their efforts and hard work resulted in the creation, development, and distribution of an epinephrine auto injector devise that will help save the life of many who suffer from anaphylaxis allergies, and for which food allergic individuals and their families will always be grateful for.<br />

now available in U.S. retail pharmacies nationwide with a prescription
from a healthcare provider.<br />
<br />
Auvi-Q is the first-and-only
epinephrine auto-injector with audio and visual cues for the emergency
treatment of life-threatening allergic reactions in people who are at
risk for or have a history of anaphylaxis. The size and shape of a
credit card and the thickness of a smart phone, Auvi-Q is a breakthrough
in epinephrine auto-injector device design that talks patients and
caregivers step-by-step through the injection process.<br />
<br />
<i>"Patient feedback was a critical component to the development process for Auvi-Q," </i>said Anne Whitaker, President, North America Pharmaceuticals, Sanofi. <i>"The
availability of Auvi-Q represents an important step forward in our
continued innovation to meet the needs of people at risk for <a data-mce-href="http://omaxcare.com/what_is_anaphylaxis.html" href="http://omaxcare.com/what_is_anaphylaxis.html" title="anaphylaxis">anaphylaxis</a> and their caregivers." </i><br />
<br />

to six million Americans may be at risk for anaphylaxis, although the
precise incidence is unknown and likely under-reported. While guidelines
emphasize the importance of the life-saving role of epinephrine, two
large surveys
show that two-thirds of patients and caregivers do not carry their
epinephrine auto-injectors as recommended, and nearly half worry that
others will not know how to use their or their child's epinephrine
auto-injector correctly during an emergency.<br />
<br />
Multiple studies have found
an association between delay in epinephrine administration and death
from anaphylaxis.<br />
<br />
Life-threatening allergic reactions may occur as
a result of exposure to allergens including foods such as peanuts, tree
nuts, fish, shellfish, dairy, eggs, soy and wheat; insect stings; latex
and medication, among other allergens and causes.<br />
<br />
<b>About Auvi-Q </b><br />
Auvi-Q
provides users with audible and visual cues, including a five-second
injection countdown and an alert light to signal when the injection is
complete. Auvi-Q also features an automatic retractable needle mechanism
to help prevent accidental needle sticks.<br />
Available in two
different dosages, Auvi-Q 0.3mg delivers 0.3mg epinephrine injection and
is intended for patients who weigh 66 pounds or more. Auvi-Q 0.15mg
delivers 0.15mg epinephrine injection and is intended for patients who
weigh 33 – 66 pounds. Auvi-Q has not been studied in patients weighing
less than 33 pounds. Each Auvi-Q pack contains two devices - containing
one dose of epinephrine each - and a non-active training device. Auvi-Q
received U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval in August 2012.<br />
Sanofi
US licensed the North America commercialization rights to Auvi-Q from
Intelliject, Inc., which has retained commercialization rights for the
rest of the world. Eric and Evan Edwards, twin brothers who suffer from
life-threatening allergies, and co-founders of Intelliject, Inc.,
developed Auvi-Q with a team of world class engineers and scientists.
The development process incorporated real-world experiences and feedback
from patients and caregivers.<br />
Auvi-Q has been named an
International CES Innovations 2013 Design and Engineering Awards
Honoree.<br />
<br />
<b>Indication</b><br />
Auvi-Q
(epinephrine injection, USP) is used to treat life-threatening allergic
reactions (anaphylaxis) in people who are at risk for or have a history
of these reactions.<br />
<br />
<b>Important Safety Information </b><br />
Auvi-Q
is for immediate self (or caregiver) administration and does not take
the place of emergency medical care. Seek immediate medical treatment
after use. Each Auvi-Q contains a single dose of epinephrine.<br />
<br />
<b>Auvi-Q should only be injected into your outer thigh.</b>
DO NOT INJECT INTO BUTTOCK OR INTRAVENOUSLY. If you accidentally inject
Auvi-Q into any other part of your body, seek immediate medical
treatment. Epinephrine should be used with caution if you have heart
disease or are taking certain medicines that can cause heart-related
(cardiac) symptoms.<br />
<br />
<b>If you take certain medicines, you may develop serious life-threatening side effects from epinephrine.</b>
Be sure to tell your doctor all the medicines you take, especially
medicines for asthma. Side effects may be increased in patients with
certain medical conditions, or who take certain medicines. These include
asthma, allergies, depression, thyroid disease, Parkinson's disease,
diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.<br />
The most common
side effects may include increase in heart rate, stronger or irregular
heartbeat, sweating, nausea and vomiting, difficulty breathing,
paleness, dizziness, weakness or shakiness, headache, apprehension,
nervousness, or anxiety. These side effects go away quickly, especially
if you rest.<br />
Talk to your healthcare professional to see if Auvi-Q is right for you.<br />
<br />
<b>About Anaphylaxis </b><br />
The
signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis can vary from person to person and
from one episode to the next. Some people may have hives/itching, facial
or tongue swelling, which makes it difficult to breathe or swallow,
while others may experience nausea and vomiting. These symptoms may
begin within seconds, minutes or hours after exposure to the allergen.
The best prevention method for anaphylaxis is avoidance of the specific
allergen(s).<br />
When a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction
occurs, epinephrine should be administered immediately and patients and
caregivers should seek immediate medical attention. Patients and
caregivers should always carry and know how to use an epinephrine
auto-injector to treat emergency allergic reactions. Without treatment,
anaphylaxis can result in death within a matter of minutes.<br />
