Do I need a physician prescription for Twinject?
No. In Canada, all epinephrine auto-injectors can be purchased at a pharmacy without a prescription. Epinephrine auto-injectors must be stored behind the pharmacy counter, available for purchase on request. However, most private insurance plans and provincial government plans will require a physician prescription for reimbursement of the auto-injector cost.
