Healthcare costs can add up, so it is always useful to know about discounts and savings programs for medications.

AUVI-Q is now back on the market. We loved this injector for a lot of reasons, and I talked it up a ton with friends and colleagues when it first came out. The story behind it is quite interesting. The name explains it in a few syllables: "AU" stands for audio, "VI" stands for visual, and "Q" for the word cue; hence audio visual cue. When ready to use, the injector has audio (verbal) instructions as well as printed instructions on the device. The first time I used it was the first time I'd given my son an epinephrine injection. I was very grateful to have something that talked me through the steps since I was in a bit of a panic. This link will tell you about obtaining AUVI-Q, including an option for a $0 copay with commercial insurance. I tried the process recently, and it worked for me! https://www.auvi-q.com/getting-auvi-q/
