EpiPen Carrying Case Temperature Control

Extremes in temperatures can occur when you’re at the beach, at the pool, and on the other end of the spectrum, alpine skiing or snowboarding.

The EpiPen site states the following:

EpiPen® and EpiPen Jr® Auto-Injectors and Epinephrine Injection, USP should be stored in the carrier tube provided at a temperature of 20-25 °C (68-77 °F); however, temperature excursions between 15-30 ºC (59-86 ºF) are permitted.

EpiPen®, EpiPen Jr®, and Epinephrine Injection, USP Auto-Injectors should not be stored in refrigerators or in a vehicle’s glove box.

EpiPen® Auto-Injectors and their authorized generic auto-injectors should not be exposed to extreme heat or cold and should be protected from light.

Keep EpiPens in your purse

Most of the time, EpiPens can be kept directly in your purse. This works if your purse typically stays with you and is not placed in extreme temperatures. Leaving your EpiPens sitting in the direct sun or out in the snow for an extended period of time is not advised and would need some protection. An insulated EpiPen carrying case would help.

How to carry EpiPens in summer

During hot weather, store your EpiPens in an insulated bag and keep them out of direct sunlight. If you must put your EpiPen injector down, place your EpiPen in the shade. Protect your EpiPen from extreme hot conditions and never store it in the car’s glove box.

How to keep EpiPens warm in winter

During cold weather, place the EpiPens in a pocket close to your body to keep it warm.

Jacket pockets work well especially if they zip shut. If you’re not wearing a jacket, cargo pants pockets are often large and can easily fit an EpiPen.
