About Anaphylaxis
- Anaphylaxis is the most severe type of allergic reaction and should always be treated as a medical emergency.
- Anaphylaxis requires immediate treatment with adrenaline (epinephrine), which is injected into the outer mid-thigh muscle. This can be done by anyone, using an adrenaline injector device such as EpiPen or Anapen.
- If treatment with adrenaline is delayed, this can result in fatal anaphylaxis.
