EpiPen update Pfizer Canada has advised Health Canada that, in a very small number of cases, some EpiPen® (0.3mg) and EpiPen Jr® (0.15mg) auto-injector devices may not slide out of their carrier tube easily, or potentially at all, which could delay or potentially prevent emergency treatment. In a very small number of cases, labels were not fully adhered to the surface of the auto-injector such that the device label may become stuck to the inside of the carrier tube. Therefore, the device may not slide out of the carrier tube as easily as expected. The issue is with the device label, and not with the device itself or the drug it delivers, adrenaline (epinephrine). Find out more here. |
