Description

In this episode:

  • There are now two adrenaline injectors available in Australia and both have advantages and disadvantages
  • Which to prescribe depends upon the patient or parent making an informed choice, hence our need to help in providing education and information
  • The ASCIA action plan is specific to the device… tick the “brand substitution not permitted” box as changing devices would invalidate your counselling and direction on use and also the action plan
  • Advise your patient to ask for a device with a long expiry date
  • Check the patient’s technique when you prescribe replacement devices and update the action plan
