Comparison of Needle Properties: Generic for Adrenaclick, EpiPen® and Auvi-Q™ While Firing (Updated)

This video highlights the differences between the generic for Adrenaclick device, with no needle cover, the EpiPen®, with a needle cover which protects the needle on withdrawal from the leg, and the Auvi-Q™, with a self-retracting needle. This video has been updated to reflect the new 3-second count for EpiPen.

Thank you. We love the AuviQ. Currently we are carrying the EpiPen. We have yet to use the generic version.

[@kims5783]

thank you soooooo much! I have had the generic in my possession for 5 months and did not know how to use it. I had been hoping that someone would show me before my Mylan one expired and I had to use the generic!

[@sugarplumlanenalinda661]

Thanks for the information 👏🍃

[@majesticface3631]

how much did this vid cost you? Generic is like 70 bucks, the epipen is 600, and i don't know how much the auviQ

[@JulieBrownMD]

These were all expired devices given to me by patients. It didn't cost me a penny.

[@SpecialEDy]

That exact Generic was $370 for me, waited till I paid my deductible and it was only a $5 copay :D

[@emmakelly5703]

auvi q is free for the first set of 2 including trainer, then i think refills cost about 70?

Thank you very much

[@flashie4905]

That needle is so thick!

[@keeganmoonshine7183]

Filipino Gamer doesn’t hury

[@liltiplovergobbler74]

I think when your dying that's the least of your concerns lol

[@memegoldbars7602]

Keegan Moonshine done it a dozen times. Oddly doesn’t even hurt as bad as a flu shot

[@Floodbait_117]

Why am I so curious as to what epinephrine taste like

[@elphabathropp5024]

That’s the reason why I’m scared of my Epipen.

[@memegoldbars7602]

Don’t be. I’ve used a couple epipens and it really really doesn’t hurt

[@hunneyperalta6577]

Hey u have a new subscriber

[@Ms3queen]

Mine are generic, but built just like EpiPen (with needle cover). I live in Wisconsin. Wonder if that matters.

[@und4287]

Those are probably the Mylan generics, the only physical difference is that the EpiPen says "EpiPen" on the label, while the generic doesn't, they operate in the exact same way.

[@elphabathropp5024]

Can we put the red safety guard back on the Auvi-Q after we use it?

[@justanawkwardddlcfan]

no, i don't think so.

[@KeeGamer310]

It is not reusable, unless it is the trainer unit. Then you can put it back in the case and insert the safety guard to reset it for use again.

[@progamer-ew4wf]

Can you feel the pain?

[@mrkitloin]

If you’re having full blown anaphylaxis i dont think the pain matters as much to you, and you will be panicking too much to fee it
