Our pharmacy called to let us know about the recall and the replacement procedures.
My mother is in a bit of a tough situation though as she JUST left for six months in America. So she has a Canadian Allerject and pharmacies in America won't exchange them for her. Sanofi said she has to exchange them at a Canadian pharmacy. Or she can go to a doctor in America and get a new prescription, have it filled and Sanofi will pay her back for the EpiPens but not the doctor's visit. Her insurance won't cover a random doctor's visit, only emergencies. Any ideas? Right now I am going to exchange mine for EpiPens and send them down with my Dad when he comes up to visit for a weekend in December (just him coming to visit, not Mum - weird, but whatever.). Can anyone come up with a better plan? (I have two EpiPens already and refills for six more if I need them.)
Aside, I did wonder if my Allerject worked properly the last time I had to use it. It helped ease symptoms but not as much as past injections. In that weak state, under emergency medical attention already, it wasn't worth mentioning. But I did think about it at the time... But I was well beyond delirious in general so who really knows.
