How to get an Epipen?

    Hi All

    Ive had a severe fish allergy since early teens and have avoided all seafood since. A few years ago I had a prick test that showed I still had an allergy to some fish, Kiwi and egg white. This first test was done in hospital (abroad) after a year wait and due to a mixup in dates for the remainder i didnt get the tests completed.

    Soon I will travel to an asian country for holidays and would like to get a Epipen due to fish sauce being used in many dishes.

    Can someone please advise as to how I can get and Epipen. I understand I need a prescription but is it easy to get? Can a doctor prescribe after a consultation or do I need to get tests done? I dont want to have to pay for expensive tests if possible.

    Thanks in advance

    Go to GP, GP will prescribe it, get it from pharmacy (most people get 2-3).
