  3. Methodology

    All dm+d codes from adrenaline pens from brands that are commonly available in the UK were included. They are

    • Epipen
    • Jext
    • Emerade

    Additionally we have included preparations were the BNF codes begins 0304030C0 and the preparation appears to be a pen from its BNF name. We have excluded ampoules as we don't antipate the primary usage of these are for anaphylactic emergency.
