Not if the airline follows the Food & Drug Act and has a prescription or other order from a docttor to have it. The regulation cannot override or waive the law. You're discussing two different issues. One is whether or not the epinephrine can be legally carried in the medical kit of a certificated airliner. It can be, and is. If a doctor orders it. It's not difficult to obtain such an order, but without it, they can't do it legally. The law says that the medication may not be dispensed without the order of a physician. Dispensed does not mean "used or administered", it means "sold or delivered by a pharmacy or drug distributor or manufacturer". I agree that the regulation cannot waive the law, but I don't believe that these emergency kits violate any law. If there is some legal requirement for a physician to have a role in the stocking of the kit, I'd guess that requirement would be met by running the paper through the airline medical department. My understanding is that the kit (the one with the restricted stuff in it) is for use only by medical professionals. At least that's what I've read in medical literature.

I didn't say the kits violated the law. I just said that they needed a doctor's order to obtain. I'm certain the airline has such an order from a doctor in its inhouse medical department, or other physician. That's all I've been saying. -- Jay Maynard, K5ZC http://www.conmicro.com http://jmaynard.livejournal.com http://www.tronguy.net http://www.hercules-390.org (Yes, that's me!)

Ron (EPM) (N5843Q, Mooney M20E) (CP, ASEL, ASES, IA) It's been a long time since I was PIC in 121 (but nut as long as Manicax.) When they started putting that stuff in the kit we were told that the restricted part of the kit could only be opened by an MD or DO. So, if there wasn't one of those two on board, no use allowed. |

They say there is no MD on board so nobody can administer the Epi-pen. "I'll do it myself. Please pass the pen!" Sorry, you're not a doctor. We can't do that. But I'm dying! That is too bad, maybe we can give you a discount coupon for the inconvenience. We look forward to serving you in the future. |

Why would you travel without a medication for a known life-threatening condition? It isn't exactly an unexpected heart attack. |

I travel all the time with one of thos "granny" seven day pill dispensers and another large container of non-prescription and prescription drugs in my brief case. Nothing is ever saidl I think labeled precriptions become important only when travelling internationally. |

It would be irresponsible not to if you know you are subject to this type of reaction. |
