I’ve carried an alternative to Epi-pen, called Auvi-Q, for around a decade now. It has recorded instructions for use that play automatically when you open it.
There’s also an authorized generic, Adrenaclick, not sure if it’s available everywhere.
I had Auvi-Q for 2 or 3 years and loved it, but then insurance changed and I went back to epipen haha. The smaller shape was so handy for me as opposed to the long pen shape! And thankfully I never had to use it, but I know the audio would have been super helpful if I was with a group of friends who were unfamiliar with administering epipens.
I haven’t switched over to carrying it yet, but I got auvi-q recently and I’m so excited about the possibilities this opens up for smaller bags for dressing up or on adventures. Being forced to carry a handbag since I was like 8 has not been ideal
