Adrenaline Auto Injectors
IMPORTANT NOTICE - Due to worldwide supply problems the availability of Adrenaline Auto Injectors across all brands is often extremely limited. Please call our Sales team on 0800 358 0085 to confirm stock availability.
Since 1 October 2017 the Human Medicines (Amendment) Regulations 2017 has allowed primary and secondary schools to buy adrenaline auto-injector (AAI) devices without a prescription, for emergency use on children who are at risk of anaphylaxis but their own device is not available or not working (e.g. because it is broken, or out-of-date).
Schools are not required to hold an AAI - this is a discretionary power enabling schools to do this if they wish. Schools which choose to keep an emergency AAI should establish a policy or protocol for the use of the emergency AAI based on this guidance.
Please note that we cannot accept returns on pharmaceutical products. There may be a 4-7 day delivery time on these products, please contact us by phoning 0800 358 0085 or email us at sales@eurekadirect.co.uk for more information regarding your order.

Important information about allergic reactions
Anaphylaxis is a severe and life-threatening allergic reaction - it can be fatal if treatment is not given quickly.
Since 1st October 2017, the Human Medicines (Amendment) Regulations 2017 have allowed primary and secondary schools to buy adrenaline auto-injector (AAl) devices without a prescription, upon receipt of a signed order form from the head teacher.
Anaphylaxis tends to occur straight after coming into contact with a trigger, however it can occur a few hours later. Different people have different triggers.
Common triggers include:
Food
Peanuts, eggs, seafood
Medicines
Penicillin
Insects
Bee or wasp stings
AAls are highly intuitive and easy to use devices used for the emergency treatment of anaphylaxis.
Different brands of AAls are used in different ways. You MUST follow the instructions provided with your auto-injector.
NEW! Pharmaceutical Packaging
No more delays to despatching pharmaceutical items
As part of our licence to distribute pharmaceutical products, we must ensure that pharmaceuticals are not stored in temperatures below 8° or above 25° at any time, including when in transit. We store pharmaceuticals in a specialist temperature-controlled room, but are unable to guarantee temperatures once goods have been despatched. This can cause delays to despatching orders in the winter, when overnight temperatures are often sub-zero, or on hot days in the summer. This is far from ideal given the essential nature of products like back up Adrenaline Injectors and Inhalers for schools.
Temperature controlled packaging is often very expensive and would typically result in significant costs to be passed on. However, as part of our commitment to serve our customers as best as we can, we have found a new innovative solution which enables us to promptly despatch pharmaceutical orders in almost any external conditions AND does not cost our customers a penny more!
Our new packaging for pharmaceutical products is as sustainable as it is effective. It is made using a combination of 100% pure natural sheep wool fibres, and a compostable and biodegradable outer. The packaging ensures that pharmaceuticals are insulated when external temperatures are cold and chilled when the weather is warm, all the way from our warehouse until being delivered to your door.
