Supplies of EpiPen and other adrenaline auto-injectors are currently available in volumes that are sufficient to meet normal levels of demand. The Department continues to work very closely with all the manufacturers of adrenaline auto-injectors and can confirm that the supply situation continues to improve with further deliveries expected over the coming months. All patients who require an adrenaline auto-injector should now be able to obtain a device from their pharmacy.
