can we use epi pen for asthma attack since its like the same with severe allergy that shuts the airway.. thanks
A) Medical advice is outside of the terms of service,B) I really hope no one is waiting on this answer...C) This knowledge is public domain and may be accessed by reviewing indications for Epi-Pens: It is not exactly the same mechanism as allergies, and though it may be precipitated by some of the same iG pathways, it's not always. Giving epi to a person without a true anaphylactic reaction can cause harm... If they have asthma, there are better ways to treat it.

Comment:
EpiPen MUST NOT be used for treating anything but anaphylaxis (Epi is my companion for the last 34 years, so we really got to know each other).

Comment:
OP, why are you asking?

Comment:
I would only use it for asthma if the RX on the label indicated that it be used for that particular patient in that way.

Comment:
I think that would not be appropriate... better stick to what it's for...
