Best news ever! They just don't make pockets big enough for EpiPens in ladies wear.  Sooooooo happy! Let the countdown begin.  And fingers crossed they return Allerject to Canada as well.   :happydance:

Doing happy dance too, GN! Our teenagers are sick of carrying big, bulky epipens again . . .

or maybe, they just don't care.  What they have works so why invest $$ to change it.

Maybe they were so focused on the redesign (which is horrendous) that they missed a crucial window when people were grabbing up patents for new, smaller versions. Maybe they're not developing a smaller one because they can't, maybe all the ideas they come up with are already patented by others...

I don't have any idea, but it's such a huge issue that I have to wonder if the executives and development/marketing teams there simply don't use the product themselves in the real world or something.   :-/

Adults who carry meds have ONE complaint about them-- make-it-smaller-make-it-smaller-make-it-smaller-make-it-smaller.  Period.  This is true for diabetics, for asthmatics, for those with heart conditions, etc. etc. etc.

  It's NOT rocket science.

Why is it that everyone sees they need to be smaller except for Mylan? Why aren't they trying to take the lead on this race?

Wow, I love the idea of something that small that could fit on a keychain, but not if it is difficult to use.  That looks like it could be hard to handle, especially if impaired by a reaction.

Another new one! Fits on a key chain.
