That is HEINOUS, Eragon. 


This is something that ALL international travellers with autoinjectors probably ought to bear in mind, as well-- it's not wise to assume that you'll be able to pop into a pharmacy and replace rescue medication.

this has been the situation since april. We found it difficult to find replacement ones in may when our son lost them.

I knew there was a reason that I keep expired ones for a few years...better than nothing.

I'm sure that my doc would be willing to prescribe a vial and syringe combo...trouble is that is not easy to track down at a pharmacy either.
