    So you'd have to get a new prescription, because what you're talking about isn't substitutable at the pharmacy or under existing protocols, but that shouldn't be too bad. Not sure where you're buying autoinjectors for $20 that work in exactly the same way as an EpiPen. Have you got a specific suggestion or an online source you'd be willing to share? I don't want to pry but, if you'll forgive me asking, do you carry an EpiPen or one of these workalikes?

    I'm not sure, but I would imagine that yes, you'll probably have to get a new prescription.

    I'm sure they do work differently from EpiPens since you have to load them manually. Every real pharmacy I've ever been in has had autoinjectors, and I would imagine that they're available at online pharmacies as well (OptumRX and such).

    I don't use either one personally.

      My experience with them has only been to carry them in case one of my charges ever needed one. Not yet, so far — Knock, knock, knock. I hadn’t realized how dear they are.
