4. DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Selection of the appropriate dosage strength (Epinephrine Injection Mylan 0.3 mg or Epinephrine Injection Mylan Jr 0.15 mg) is determined according to patient body weight.
•       Patients greater than or equal to 30 kg: Epinephrine Injection Mylan 0.3 mg
•       Patients 15 to 30 kg: Epinephrine Injection Mylan Jr 0.15 mg 
Inject Epinephrine Injection Mylan or Epinephrine Injection Mylan Jr intramuscularly into the anterolateral aspect of the thigh, through clothing if necessary. Instruct caregivers of young children who are prescribed an Epinephrine Injection Mylan or Epinephrine Injection Mylan Jr Jr and who may be uncooperative and kick or move during an injection to hold the leg firmly in place and limit movement prior to and during an injection [see Warnings and Precautions (7.2)].

Each Epinephrine Injection Mylan or Epinephrine Injection Mylan Jr contains a single dose of epinephrine for single-use injection. Since the doses of epinephrine delivered from Epinephrine Injection Mylan or Epinephrine Injection Mylan Jr are fixed, consider using other forms of injectable epinephrine if doses lower than 0.15 mg are deemed necessary.

The prescriber should carefully assess each patient to determine the most appropriate dose of epinephrine, recognizing the life-threatening nature of the reactions for which this drug is indicated.
With severe persistent anaphylaxis, repeat injections with an additional Epinephrine Injection Mylan or Epinephrine Injection Mylan Jr may be necessary. More than two sequential doses of epinephrine should only be administered under direct medical supervision [see Warnings and Precautions (7.1)].

The epinephrine solution in the clear window of the Epinephrine Injection Mylan Auto-Injector should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration. Epinephrine is light sensitive and should be stored in the carrier tube provided to protect it from light [see How Supplied/Storage and Handling (15.2)].
