Epinephrine sting kits can be self administered and are important for
you to use immediately after being stung, before you get to a doctor
for treatment. The two most common have the brand names Ana-Kit and
Epi-Pen. However, these kits should not be used as a substitute for
medical intervention. You should still see a doctor after being stung.
Epinephrine alone is not always enough to reverse serious allergic sting
reactions and may cause serious side effects in some people with heart
conditions or people who are taking certain medicines.
You will need a prescription from your doctor to purchase one of
these kits. Before using, be sure to let your doctor know about any
medicine you are taking to prevent drug interactions.
