Please let us known its full generic name so that we can talk to our local
doctors and chemists any where in the world.<

Epipen is an American trade name for an epinephrine solution included with a
self-injector, specifically for systemic allergic reactions (anaphylacsis).
I
do not know the strength of the solution nor the amount in a single dosage,
but the above description should be adequate for international physicians to
recognize and prescribe the regional counterpart.

This is information I took off the EpiPen package insert:
"Delivers 0.3 mg intramuscular dose of epinephrine from Epinephrine
Injection, USP, 1:1000 (0.3 mL)."
Manufactured for Center Laboratories, Division of EM Industries, INC.,
35 Channel Drive
Port Washington, NY 11050, USA
by Survival Technology, Inc., Rockville, MD 20850, USA
Hope that helps
