Epinephrine Professional Coupons & Prices

Looking for an epinephrine coupon? Epinephrine is the first-line, life-saving medicine for severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), and it is available as a lower-cost generic as well as brand-name auto-injectors like EpiPen and Auvi-Q. Cash prices vary widely from one pharmacy to the next, so comparing before you fill can make a real difference. Enter your ZIP above to see today's epinephrine price at pharmacies near you. Rx.com compares prices across more than 60,000 U.S. pharmacies so you can find a low cash price without insurance.

What is epinephrine and how does it work?

Epinephrine is an alpha- and beta-adrenergic agonist (a sympathomimetic catecholamine). In an allergic emergency it works within minutes to open the airways, tighten blood vessels to support blood pressure, and reduce swelling and hives. It is the standard emergency treatment for severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) caused by insect stings and bites, foods, medications, latex, and other allergens, including exercise-induced and idiopathic anaphylaxis.

Auto-injectors such as EpiPen, EpiPen Jr, Auvi-Q, and their generics are designed for immediate self-use or use by a caregiver. Injectable epinephrine (Adrenalin) is also used in clinical settings, for example for low blood pressure associated with septic shock and as an adjunct to prolong local anesthetics.

Epinephrine cost and savings without insurance

The generic version of epinephrine is typically less expensive than the brand-name auto-injectors, but cash prices still range widely by pharmacy and by ZIP code, which is exactly why comparing matters. Enter your ZIP above to see today's price near you and use an Rx.com coupon at the pharmacy counter, with no insurance required.

If you prefer a brand, the EpiPen manufacturer offers its own savings program on its official website (epipen.com); Auvi-Q's manufacturer offers information on its official site (auvi-q.com). Eligibility and terms vary and can change, so read the current details directly from the manufacturer. In many cases the generic cash price found through price comparison is competitive with or lower than brand options, so it is worth checking both.

Brands and related epinephrine options

Epinephrine comes in several forms and brands. If your prescription allows a generic, an FDA-approved substitutable generic auto-injector is available and is usually the lower-cost choice. Related products you can compare include:

• EpiPen and EpiPen Jr auto-injectors
• Auvi-Q, an auto-injector with voice instructions
• Adrenaclick-style auto-injector
• Symjepi prefilled syringe
• neffy, an epinephrine nasal spray (needle-free)

The right choice depends on your prescription, your comfort with the device, and cost. Ask your pharmacist which products are in stock and substitutable, then compare their cash prices above.

Important safety information

Epinephrine has no FDA boxed warning and no absolute contraindication in a true anaphylaxis emergency, where it is life-saving. Inject only into the outer or mid thigh (the vastus lateralis muscle). Do not inject into a vein, the buttock, or into the hands, fingers, or feet; accidental injection into these areas can cause serious tissue or blood-vessel injury and needs prompt medical care. Follow your device's instructions and keep your auto-injector with you and unexpired.

Common effects can include anxiety, restlessness, tremor, headache, palpitations, a rapid heartbeat, sweating, and paleness. Epinephrine can raise blood pressure and, especially at higher doses or in people with heart disease, hyperthyroidism, or certain drug interactions (MAOIs, tricyclic antidepressants, beta-blockers), may cause arrhythmias or chest pain. After using epinephrine, seek emergency medical care right away, because a second (biphasic) reaction can occur.
