The best treatment for a food allergy reaction is Epinephrine, also called "adrenaline," the medication of choice for controlling a severe reaction. It is available by prescription as a self-injectable device.
The Medi-Card is a patented epinephrine injector that costs less to manufacture and buy; is smaller; more comfortable to use; and less intimidating than the current products.
The Medi-Card is the size of a credit card and about a quarter inch thick, fitting easily into pockets and wallets. The hard durable plastic shell keeps Medi-Card from being damaged.
Inside the Medi-Card there is a small needle and an epinephrine filled syringe. Epinephrine is delivered quickly and easily by removing the cap and pressing the applicator against the thigh (see Product Description). A description of the application process is given in the following section.
