Medication bag

[ItHasANiceRingWhenYouLaugh]

Hi, my son has allergies and needs to carry epipens, training epipen, antihistamines, antihistamine creams, and inhaler. We have been using a roll up pencil case with sections, but it is getting pretty tatty now.

What does everyone else use?

Bump!

How about a nice leather sanitary pouch?

You can get special pouches for epipens.

Where I work, I sometimes have 5 or 6 dcs epipens all at once.

Some use medium sized pencil cases. Some ziplock bags, some Tupperware boxes. Some small backpacks.

It needs to be clearly named, that's a priority and a copy of the plan in it so you want something where the plan is not going to get all crushed up so you are constantly having to replace it.

I use one of these when I go out with DS - it is easy for me or him to carry on its own if we are just nipping to the shops or the postbox, and it also fits comfortably inside a larger handbag.

It fits two epipens (also fits two Emerade pens - they are much bigger and don't fit inside the medibag we had before) plus inhaler, cardboard tube folded for spacer, small bottle of antihistamine, medicine syringe and emergency plan, with space left over for my keys, phone and purse.

At school, DS has a massive bright yellow medic-alert bag which is very unwieldy. That stays in his classroom all the time, but for his school trip next week, the teacher is borrowing my little bag because it is so much easier to carry.

I have a yellow cross bag for my sons pens and antihistamines - i decanted the antihistamine into a small pharmacy bottle to fit better, as he only needs 2.5ml if he has a reaction.
