WHAT SHOULD I DO<br />

1. Administer single dose auto-injector<br />

2. Call 911<br />

3. Notify parent/guardian<br />

4. Administer second auto-injector in<br />

5 to 15 minutes after first dose is given IF<br />

symptoms do not improve or if symptoms recur<br />

5. Have ambulance transport student to hospital<br />

*Epinephrine is the only way to reverse the effects<br />

of anaphylaxis. Give ASAP<br />

**Remember, the epinephrine may only last for 15<br />

minutes, calling 911 is very important<br />
