- ‘How to use’ cards to keep at home and share with others.
- Video explainers in 26 languages that are appropriate for new patients and as refreshers for experienced patients.
- Real-world patient videos in which parents and patients describe their experiences with using EpiPen® for first aid.
- Evidence-based information to help people understand more about anaphylaxis and their EpiPen® Auto-Injectors.
- Regular newsletters to keep patients up to date with relevant information.
- Evidence-based information to help people understand more about anaphylaxis and their EpiPen® Auto-Injectors, with links to ASCIA anaphylaxis resources, such as the EpiPen® version of the ASCIA Action Plan for Anaphylaxis.
