Connect with licensed, board-certified healthcare providers on Klarity Health to evaluate your allergy needs and obtain an EpiPen prescription online within 24 hours if appropriate.
EpiPen, or epinephrine auto-injector, was FDA-approved in 1987 to treat anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction that can cause life-threatening symptoms such as difficulty breathing, drop in blood pressure, and swelling. It works rapidly within minutes to reverse these symptoms.
Off-label, EpiPen can also be used to treat acute symptomatic bradyarrhythmia and upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage. It belongs to a class called alpha- and beta-adrenergic agonists, which have various critical care applications.
EpiPen delivers a dose of epinephrine that constricts blood vessels, relaxes airway muscles, and improves breathing. It acts within 10-20 minutes, providing fast relief during allergic emergencies.
Only a licensed healthcare provider can determine if EpiPen is appropriate for you based on your medical history and symptoms. It is not available over-the-counter and requires a prescription.
Using Klarity, you can quickly connect with experienced, board-certified healthcare providers for allergy assessment. During your virtual appointment, they evaluate your condition and decide if EpiPen is suitable.
If approved, your prescription is sent electronically to your pharmacy, often on the same day, allowing quick access to the medication you need.
Appointments are generally available within 24 hours, and many patients receive their prescriptions promptly if medically appropriate.
EpiPen is one of the fastest-acting treatments for severe allergic reactions, working within minutes. It has no risk of dependence or abuse and does not interact with alcohol. Other medications may require longer to act or have different risk profiles.
The cost of an EpiPen prescription through Klarity depends on your insurance and plan coverage. Many plans, including FSA and HSA, help reduce out-of-pocket expenses. Your provider will discuss costs and options during your consultation.
