I just paid a $268 copay for a twin pack epipen. That was with using the $100.00 value $0 copay card. This is a dug that we must carry with us and we hope we never have to use.

There was a recent article in the NY times that said the overuse of antibiotics was a possible cause of allergies.

I agree we need to reduce kids' allergies, but you don't know what you are talking about. I did everything exactly the same through 2 pregnancies -- ate nuts, peanuts, soy, shellfish, dairy, etc. Had a dog, vacuumed very little, lived in the same area with the same water and the same air pollution. One child is allergic to everything and one child is allergic to nothing.

I have been quoted 407.00 for and epi pen for my 14 year old daughter! This is just absolutely out of the question!
Even with the 100$ discount it's still too much. She knows to stay clear of any questionable foods. However I just think the cost is way out of control!!

Kaiser has them for $10 each
