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.
