I'm not in the medical field but EpiPens are expensive for their autoinjector technology. Having syringes with 0.3 mg of epinephrine ready would be a lot cheaper.

    Downside is, you have to take the time to fill a syringe, which might be difficult if your mid reaction, plus it's harder for a bystander to help you since they would have to work out the correct dose.

    I use Toradol for migraines, and doing this mid migraine is hard enough as it is, I can't imagine having to do this in anaphylactic shock.
