How do I get a longer expiry date on my adrenaline injector?

Check with the pharmacy. If they have adrenaline injectors with an expiry date of less than ten months, you can consider asking them to order you an adrenaline injector with a longer expiry date.

You may have to wait a couple of days for the order to arrive at the pharmacy, so do not leave it until the last minute to renew your adrenaline injector prescription.

You may also like to phone a few pharmacies in your area to see which pharmacy has adrenaline injectors with the longest expiry dates.

On rare occasions adrenaline injectors may not be available with expiry dates of more than ten months. If this occurs, it is better to accept an in-date adrenaline injector even if the expiry date is short.

If you purchase a device that has an expiry date less than 12 months, you can replace the devices through the PBS on authority prescription when they are due to expire.
