    The adrenaline auto injector brands available in the UK are EpiPen and Jext.

    They are medical devices used to treat severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis). Anaphylaxis can occur quickly and can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. Common triggers include foods (such as nuts, shellfish, and dairy), insect stings, medications, and latex.

    Key Points:

    • AAI’s deliver a measured dose of adrenaline to help reduce the body’s allergic reaction.
    • Adrenaline works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and tightening the blood vessels.

    Carrying an AAI is crucial for individuals with a history of severe allergies
