Each EpiPen 2-Pak contains an EpiPen Auto-Injector training device to help patients become comfortable with administration. The training device contains no drug product or needle.

Dey is no longer shipping single EpiPen Auto-Injector package configurations in the U.S.; however, the single EpiPen Auto-Injector may still be available at certain pharmacies for a few weeks until their stock is depleted. The single EpiPen Auto-Injector package configuration will continue to be available outside of the U.S.
