Kraft Kraft Protection for Peanuts: Get Reimbursed For Your EpiPen/Epinephrine Injector Out-of-Pocket Costs Protection for Peanuts
get this dealKraft Peanut Butter has launched a program to help Canadians offset the cost of epinephrine injectors (like EpiPens). Called Protection for Peanuts, they're aiming to make epinephrine auto-injector cost the same as a jar of peanut butter. (Less than 50% of Canadians with food allergies have easy, affordable access to epinephrine auto-injectors.)
To help Canadians with epinephrine auto-injector costs, they've launched an online reimbursement form. You'll have to provide details like your name, address and the amount you paid out-of-pocket for your epinephrine injectors. You will also need to provide a receipt. There is a limit of one reimbursement submission per person.
You can read more about the program here, and you can access the online reimbursement form here.

View allDiabetics who do this at least have had lots of practice. An allergic reaction usually only comes once in a blue moon and you aren't usually home where food are safe and controlled.
You are right Diabetics have been self administering for decades. Many people would like to move to the dial a dose pens to minimize errors. When there is a withdrawal from a vial USP and NAPRA standards will provide guidance on how long that new prefilled syringe is stable for. Even under the best of circumstances unless you a manufacturer and have the ability to test the integrity of your end product even the longest dating would be no more than about 28 days, likely you would get about 24 hours as an expiry.
We buy two per year as school needs one and one for our home. the older ones go to the grandparents and in each of our cars.

Whoever downvoted this, shake your head
My daughter had both and we are very lucky, she's not anymore (we're in the process of reintroduction). Seriously big party. We went at Ciel! to celebrate.

If it is just $75,000 for all of Canada, and pens are avg $100 each..... that's only 750 total.

That said, unless you manage to snag a vein, any infection would likely be limited to the immediate area, giving you a nasty boil or something but not septic shock like if it was IV.
Scrambling to the washroom to induce vomiting was one of the scariest moments of my life. I got an EpiPen the next day. I'm lucky that my insurance covers 90%.
What you can do, is bring all your expired medication to the drug store so they can dispose of it properly and safely. Most people toss it in the trash which is the worst thing because that ends up in the water supply.

I always wondered why can't there be a trade in system where you give back the expired one for some money. The injector itself doesn't break automatically! Only the drug expires. It'll avoid plastic waste as well.
Or maybe an exchange program between people amd ambulance services where they collect your near expired products for use, as they'd be using it more often.
Alas, i live in some hopeful world of exchanges...

Go be a Karen somewhere else instead of being an idiot here. Good on the OP for this and much appreciated.

So instead of KRAFT having proper manufacturing protocols so that peanuts do not appear where there are not supposed to, they will give up a free Epiphen. And some here are delighted!
