3.2.4 Allergic Emergencies

Adrenaline Autoinjector MHRA guidance - Advice for healthcare professionals

• It is recommended that TWO adrenaline auto-injectors are prescribed, which patients should carry at all times

• 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

• Encourage people with allergies and their carers to obtain and practice using a trainer device (available for free from the manufacturers' websites)

• Ensure when prescribing an Adrenaline Autoinjector that patients are given the most recent advice on how to treat an allergic emergency.
