epi-pen
Emergency adrenaline shot
An epi-pen is a medical device that delivers a premeasured dose of epinephrine (adrenaline) to treat severe allergic reactions.
The auto-injector is designed for emergency self-administration, typically into the thigh: She carries an epi-pen everywhere because of her peanut allergy.
The name is a trademark that has become genericized.
