Do the Original Allergy Emergency Kit Cabinets Come with EpiPens or Auvi-Qs?No. We are a manufacturer of cabinets and storage solutions. Epinephrine, being a prescription medication, has to be purchased with a prescription or standing order from a medical doctor. I am a school nurse or school administrator, how can I get EpiPens or Auvi-Qs?It is actually pretty straight-forward. In most states, you just need to contact your school's physician or a doctor in your community (preferably an allergist but any doctor will do) and ask them to write you a prescription to the school itself - not to a person. This is called a "stock epinephrine" or "un-designated epinephrine" prescription. Once you have your prescription you can order EpiPens or Auvi-Qs from most school nurse supply catalogs, medical suppliers or directly from a program called EpiPen4Schools (BioRidge Pharma) that offers free EpiPens for schools for each building - and additional auto-injectors at a deep discount. How can I get these cabinets installed in my child's school?For some schools, just telling them that the product exists will get the ball rolling. In other cases, you will need to become an advocate for the allergic children in your school by introducing the Public Area Epinephrine Cabinet concept at a School Board Meeting. The similarity to AEDs, combined with resources such as the EpiPen4Schools program for free and discounted auto-injectors, can make for a compelling conversation. School PTA organizations have been known to donate AEDs and may similarly support purchase of Original Allergy Emergency Kit cabinets. Do your cabinets work with the new Auvi-Q talking epinephrine auto-injector?Yes, our cabinets work with every auto-injector on the market. Better yet, our cabinets work with anything that you can stick a piece of self-adhesive Velcro to! Our cabinets come with the Velcro pieces so you can get up and running very quickly. We have a very limited budget at our school. What is the cheapest way we can get EpiPens or Auvi-Qs up in a public area so we are protected in an emergency?If you purchase one Original Allergy Emergency Kit cabinet and apply to the EpiPen4Schools program through BioRidge Pharma, you can get your public area epinephrine strategy launched for a little over $300. |
