Health minister set to make U.S. made EpiPen alternative available in Canada
29 August 2018 - The federal government says an alternative to EpiPens will be available next month for Canadians with life-threatening allergies.
Health Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor says she has signed an interim order to allow the U.S.-approved Auvi-Q epinephrine auto-injectors to be imported into Canada.
The order is effective for two weeks while approval is sought to extend the order for up to one year.
