Reply to comment by ShalmaneserIII in ELI5: If allergies, and especially anaphylaxis, are so common, why do we still need prescriptions for epi pens and such? by boomokasharoomo

pretty sure it's high priority, and low chance of forgetting the epipen.

it's possible that there is medical coverage for prescription medications like epipen, whereas regular tylenol etc would normally not be covered.

I've definitely had friends with allergies mention they forgot their epipen. Kinda often, actually.
