FYI, there is a generic epipen available for much less money than the Epipen (\~\$100 vs \$600). You can buy it at Walmart, Costco, or Rite-Aid. In some states, your pharmacists can\'t substitute it for the Epipen\--you have to ask your doctor to prescribe it by name: \"epinephine injection, USP auto-injector\". The main difference between the generic and the Epipen is that you have to remove two caps instead of one.\
