If you suffer from anaphylaxis, you can help prevent a reaction from occurring by avoiding the allergenic substance. However, avoidance is not enough. You cannot predict the movement of a flying insect, or always know the ingredients of your food. Surprises happen and sometimes you cannot avoid the harmful allergen. In this case you need to be prepared to treat the condition with epinephrine as soon as it arises.

Small Size & Durable Design
During anaphylactic shock, epinephrine can save a life, but only if the patient or caregiver has quick and ready access to the medication. It is Medi-Card’s durable and compact design that ensures individuals will be carrying epinephrine with them when it is needed.
Never See the Needle
Medi-Card allows the patient or caregiver to administer the drug without ever having to see the needle. The Medi-Card contains a sleeve that covers and protects the needle, allowing it to safely retract after administration and hiding it from the patient's view throughout the device's use.
Method of Delivery
Rather than requiring a “swing and jab” action to deliver the medication, Medi-Card utilizes a simple place and push method. Please refer to section 2 for more details on Medi-Card’s delivery method.
Duration of Relief
The Medi-Card also features a patent pending “Pill Pack,” which carries additional, potentially lifesaving medications, namely antihistamines and prednisone. Such instant access to these prescription drugs provides individuals with additional time to get to an emergency room or doctor’s office for further treatment. |
