Sanofi US Issues Voluntary Nationwide Recall of Auvi‑Q®

Thought perhaps other Freepers with allergies would be interested in this topic.

Multiple members of my family have severe food allergies. AuviQ is a costly Rx, however, Sanofi, the company that provides Auvi-Q, has in the past, offered discount coupons to people who register at their website, a process which saved me considerable money on these Rx.

To begin the process of replacement, I called Sanofi only to receive the 'call back later' message due to high volume of calls.

I then called my pharmacy for directions on exchanging the current sets of AuviQ for new ones. The pharmacist was not yet aware of the recall, he directed me to deal directly with the manufacturer, Sanofi.

Sanofi's website instructs to call medical provider to issue new Rx for replacement and any costs will be refunded by Sanofi - which I did.

In the end, hopefully, this will resolve with relative ease.

Just received notice from pharmacy that AuviQ will not be supplying replacements. Recalled AuviQ products will be replaced with Epi Pens - once they are back in stock. Local pharmacies are sold out of EpiPens and advise customers to check in every day for availability.
