There is a tourist here for 2 months who is severely allergic to fire ants. She forgot her EPIPEN at home. We went to several pharmacies in Puerto Plata and they don't seem to know what we are talking about. We explained she was "allergica grande a hormigas que piqua y necessita puede inyectar ella mismo con EPIPEN" si las hormigas la piqua". What is EPIPEN called here? or what is the equivalent? Epiphrena que elle se inyectar si hay problema?

Severe allergy - EPIPEN needed
Inyección de epinefrina. Might have to go to a clinic emergency room. Just show them this and rhey should understand. https://www.drugs.com/mtm_esp/epipen-auto-injector.html or ask for this in a pharmacy https://www.healthychildren.org/Spa.../how-to-use-an-epinephrine-auto-injector.aspx
