Hi everyone

does anyone have an epipen? if so, where in the pen is the medicine? is it where there is clear plastic all the way around, (in between the yellow plastic?) or is it further back towards where the saftey is (between 2 black things, which looks like theres a red liquid or something in there), sorry if this is very hard to understand, I couldnt think of a better way to explain it.
Thanks

I have an epipen, but not right in front of me at the moment. I have no clue where the epinephrine is in the the thing - I just know how to use it. I had to get a refresher as it appears that I may be developing allergies to nuts that I used to not have.

The epinepherine is inside the clear plastic area if I'm not wrong. I don't think it's at the back since the distance of it from the needle is too far for quick administering of the drug. Usually, it would be nearer to where the needle is...

Hope you understand what I am typing...

Thanks! ya that does make sense that it'd be closer to the needle, lol, thanks again for the help!
