When should Auvi-Q be used?

Auvi-Q should be used in emergency situations when someone is experiencing symptoms of anaphylaxis or a severe allergic reaction, such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or a rapid heartbeat. Always seek immediately medical treatment after using Auvi-Q.

How is Auvi-Q different from other epinephrine auto-injectors?

Auvi-Q is unique because it has a built-in speaker that provides step-by-step instructions on how to use the device, making it easy for anyone to use it in an emergency situation.
