For a day at the beach, try an insulated cooler pack, or wrap a towel around an ice pack and put your EpiPen in the cooler. For a ski trip or other time spent outdoors in the snow, try a waist carrier that can be worn under the coat. Body heat should keep the EpiPen warm enough.
If you carry on your EpiPen, you can ask airport security to visually inspect it rather than putting it through the X-ray scanner, if you prefer. [7] X Research source
An expired EpiPen may be less effective, but it should still be used if there is no other option in the case of an allergic emergency. In the case that you have 2 expired EpiPens on hand, use the one with the date closest to the current date. [10] X Research source
Sharps (products with needles) should not be just thrown in the trash. Inquire about the proper disposal in your area before disposing.
Never use an expired EpiPen on a person or animal during training.
