About this deal

Key message: Training is important as each AAI is given differently, so it is important that you are shown how to use your AAI device. Having a trainer device is a useful tool for practicing how to use your AAI and to teach others how to use it, as this varies from brand to brand. Emerade 300 microgram and Emerade 500 microgram auto-injectors are not being recalled at present as there are insufficient supplies of alternatives to provide replacements. For all patients currently in possession of higher strengths of Emerade auto-injectors (i.e. 300 or 500 microgram auto-injectors), the advice from MHRA and DHSC remains that the risk to the patient of being left without a pen, and therefore having no adrenaline to administer, is greater than allowing them to keep pens that may not activate, especially if two pens are carried. Although the risk of activation failure is now estimated to be higher than was previously reported, most Emerade pens will still activate as intended. Therefore, patients should be advised to retain their unexpired Emerade pens, to avoid being left without access to any adrenaline pens. EpiPen ®Jr(adrenaline)Auto-Injector0.15mgSummaryofProductCharacteristics.Availableat: https://www.medicines.org.uk/ use a second adrenaline auto-injector immediately if an Emerade pen fails to activate despite pressing firmly against the thigh, see Class 2 Medicines Recall: Emerade 150 micrograms solution for injection in pre-filled syringe, PL 33616/0013 (EL(20)A/14) for pictorial guidance; identify patients who have been supplied with Emerade 150 micrograms auto-injectors and ensure they are reviewed to determine whether their adrenaline auto-injector prescription is still appropriate and in line with existing guidance;

All healthcare professionals in primary, secondary or specialist healthcare services who prescribe, supply or administer adrenaline auto-injectors, or who advise patients and their carers, should ensure that they: that they should always carry 2 in-date auto-injectors with them at all times in case they need to administer a second dose of adrenaline before the arrival of the emergency services; General Practitioners (GPs) should send the attached Patient Letter – Advice for patients with an Emerade 150 microgram auto-injector to all patients and carers, as appropriate, who have been prescribed Emerade 150 micrograms auto-injectors. identify patients who have been supplied with Emerade 300 micrograms auto-injectors and ensure they are reviewed to determine whether their adrenaline auto-injector prescription is still appropriate and in line with existing guidance;that they need to receive training, so they are confident in being able to use any new devices (see further information in the document attached below); For Emerade 150 micrograms auto-injectors, the MHRA, in conjunction with the Department of Health & Social Care (DHSC) has established that there are sufficient supplies of alternative auto-injectors to allow for a recall to patient level. There are two types of AAIs available in the UK, these are called Epi-Pen and Jext. They both contain the same type of medication called ‘adrenaline’ (also referred to as ‘epinephrine’) which is given by injection, into the outer midthigh muscle. AAIs are prescription only medicines, and need to be prescribed by a healthcare professional –usually your GP or allergy specialist. The dose of adrenaline required is dependent on the age and weight of the person requiring the AAI device, and will be prescribed by the doctor. It is important that AAIs prescribed for children are reviewed as they get older and increase in weight to ensure they have the correct dose. Each AAI device will differ in appearance and the availability of the dose/strength available in that particular brand.

General Practitioners (GPs) should send the letter “Advice for patients with an Emerade 300 microgram auto-injector” in the document attached below, to all patients and carers, as appropriate, who have been prescribed Emerade 300 micrograms auto-injectors. pharmacists and pharmacies who receive Emerade 150 microgram auto-injectors from patients should quarantine the pens and return to them to their supplier using the supplier’s approved process.For more information on the use of adrenaline auto-injectors in schools, see Auto Injectors in Schools - More information can be found in Class 2 Medicines Recall: Emerade 150 micrograms solution for injection in pre-filled syringe, PL 33616/0013 (EL(20)A/14). Information on Emerade 300 microgram and Emerade 500 microgram auto-injectors When a prescription is needed for replacement pens, where possible, telephone appointments should be considered, based on the current UK Government guidelines for social distancing in relation to Coronavirus (COVID-19). Patients should be informed to follow the advice of their local GP practice/hospital and only attend where they are instructed to do so. See further information on COVID-19. There are three adrenaline auto-injectors (AAIs) available on prescription in the UK. The manufacturers of all three offer free trainer devices so you can practise using your AAI.

Healthcare professionals involved in the dispensing process may wish to consider how to ensure that vulnerable patients and those practising self-isolation, social distancing and shielding can still obtain their replacement auto-injectors, considering the use of delivery services where appropriate. Although pens should be returned to a pharmacy once a replacement is obtained, this should not require someone who is self-isolating or shielding to leave their home. Although the risk of activation failure is now estimated to be higher than was previously reported, most Emerade pens will still activate as intended. Therefore, patients should be advised to retain their unexpired Emerade pens, to avoid being left without access to any adrenaline pens. Always have your AAI with you at all times. If you need to use it, always call 999 for an ambulance telling the call handler it is ‘anaphylaxis’ so they can prioritise the response.General Practitioners (GPs) should send the attached Patient Letter – Advice for patients with an Emerade 150 microgram auto-injector to all patients and carers, as appropriate, who have been prescribed Emerade 150 micrograms auto-injectors. Patients and carers should be told of the important differences between brands of adrenaline pen in how they are used. call an ambulance (999) immediately after giving the injection and say this is an emergency case of anaphylaxis; MHRA Guidelines. Available at https://www.gov.uk/drug-safety-update/adrenaline-auto-injectors-updated-advice-after-european-review. Last Accessed: May 2023 Prescribers should issue no more than 2 adrenaline auto-injectors per patient (of any brand or strength) unless:

Patients and carers should be told of the important differences between brands of adrenaline pen in how they are used. are aware that this recall also applies to Emerade 150 microgram auto-injectors that are in emergency anaphylaxis kits held by healthcare professionals, such as dental surgery kits etc.Results from manufacturer testing of Emerade auto-injectors recalled from patients in Europe indicate that approximately 13% of pens need higher than normal force to activate, implying a higher risk of activation failure than was previously understood. This applies to all strengths of Emerade. immediately inform patients and carers to request a new prescription to replace each Emerade 300 microgram auto-injector with one new adrenaline pen in an alternative brand. Healthcare professionals should be aware that the licensed dosing recommendations for each brand of pen are not identical. They are available in the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) and should be followed (see links below); EpiPen ®(adrenaline)Auto-Injector0.3mgSummaryofProductCharacteristics.Availableat: https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc
