What is the file that comes up when you hit the "ctrl" key and at the same time the "u" key? It looks like some computer code. It works on any page. Just asking. Or is it nuts?

When you hit "Cnrl and U" you get the scource page for that particular internet page you are looking at.
Basically it is the computer code and details contained within that particular page

I will leave the detailed explanation to those computer experts on the board

A friend of mine brought mine in from the US. You need a prescription to purchase them in the US. There are a few doctors on this board that might be able to assist you in acquiring the epi pen. Expect to pay around $150 US.

That's the conclusion I came to as well. I got on it too late for my friend to bring me one next week. Thanks Amanda.

You sure? I could be wrong but I thought when my doctor broke my heart by telling me that I was now allergic to shellfish.........that I could pick up that epi pen at CVS pharmacy, no prescription. Anyone else know?

I am not entirely sure but I know I got a prescription.

In California you need a script, not sure about other States. My friend is coming this Thursday and he tried to get me one from his buddy who is a pharmasist and could not. When I read that Amanda carries one, I was really hoping to get an Epi here.

Huh... I guess the doctor must have written me a prescription and I didn't pay attention. I'll see if I can find it and I'll let you know.

Is it simply that they have to be controlled, or do the contents of the pen vary for different people? I know people in England who use them, but I know nothing about them. I hadn't realised they were so expensive though.

Epinephrine is a controlled drug. I think it is a chemical form of adrenaline. I'll look it up and post when I get a chance.

The pen allows a person to deliver a dose of epinephrine immediately. One must immediately seek medical care thereafter since the dose may not be sufficient to stop and reverse the effects of the allergic reaction (anaphalaxis (sp?) shock.)

The epi pens are probably not as expensive in England.
