Do not leave the EpiPen in the car, even for a short period of time. The warm temperature in the car can decrease the concentration of the EpiPen without visual changes in the pen. Epinepherine in low concentrations can paradoxically produce vasodialation resulting in hypotenion and release of mediators that can potentially worsen the prognosis in anaphylaxis.
