True on the date thing. Docs tell me that the epipen date doesn’t matter as long as the contents haven’t discolored (turned brown-which is why there is a viewing window in the thing) and if it is needed, use it.
Yes, this is ridiculous. Exp dates only really indicate shelf life, not some danger situation. The main problem is it may not be as good as when it was new.
Sad anyway. God bless.
Yes, and if death from anaphylatic shock seemed to be imminent, I would even take my chances on using an epipen with discolored contents. Products that are beyond there recommended shelf lives typically lose their potency very gradually. In a true emergency, who cares if it is only 75% as potent as a fresh product?...it’s still probably good enough!
