🚨 Epinephrine recall does NOT mean your EpiPen was recalled.

There is a recall involving certain lots of epinephrine injection USP 30 mg/30 mL due to sterility concerns and possible particulate matter but this is NOT the typical EpiPen or generic epinephrine auto-injector patients carry for severe allergic reactions.

This type of epinephrine product is generally used in healthcare settings like hospitals, so please don’t panic and assume your EpiPen is affected just because you see “epinephrine recall” in a headline.

Here’s the science behind the mechanism of action.

Don’t take this… take THIS instead 👀💊

As a pharmacist, these are some OTC medication swaps I’d make based on the active ingredients, the evidence, and what symptom you’re actually trying to treat.

Because two products can sit right next to each other in the pharmacy aisle and work VERY differently.

I went inside a Canadian pharmacy to see how their OTC medications compare to the U.S. 🇨🇦💊

One medication is available over the counter in Canada but not the U.S. and another is the complete opposite 👀

Side Note: I was jet lagged from Paris and hangry so next time I will have to spend a lot longer to see what else there is especially the skincare.
