DD just called from Cuba. She had an anaphylactic reaction, cause unknown. She had one epi-pen with her and used it. She was treated, GiVen some ind of injection, and they put her in prednisone again. Problem is she only had one epi with her. The doctors there have no idea hat an epipen is, apparently they don't have them there. Does anyone know how she can get an epipen or other form of epinephrine injection in Cuba? Since she has no idea what she reacted to, she cannot avoid, and I am going out. Of mind thinking she will react again without an epi. And the closest hospital is 20 minutes away.
There is no embassy or consulate. No diplomatic relations between US and Cuba. If they were to have a problem that would require going to a consulate, they were instructed to go the Swiss consulate. The US has an agreement with them since they are a neutral country.

There will be a lot of FASers holding thei collective breath today. :heart:
Does this apply to the 3-7 day dose allergist or ER prescribes for kids after reaction? The pharmacy or prescribing physicians never mentioned this. OMG.
