Do check your Epi-Pens from time to time. The Epi-Pen injector on the right in the picture above is discoloured. The epinephrine solution has turned cloudy and opaque. It should not be used. The one on the left is still clear. Even though the Epi-Pen on the left has expired, I'm still keeping it as a back-up due to the Epi-Pen shortage situation.
The FDA issued a statement in August 2018 that some Epi-Pens could be safe to used FOUR months after expiry if kept in proper conditions. Click HERE to read about it.
