How to treat anaphylactic shock if i'm on propranolol for wpw? was warned i couldn't use epipen (epinephrine) but concerned if i have reaction
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Had anaphylaxis?: If you have suffered anaphylaxis, first see an allergist and have him/her discuss with your cardiologist changing propranolol to another anti-arrhythmic drug. There are medications that will be effective for anaphylaxis in patients who are on propranolol, If you haven't suffered from anaphylaxis and have no life-threatening allergies, stop worrying.

For what reason can't you just use an epipen, (epinephrine) after having an allergic reaction/anaphylaxis, and then not go to the emergency room?
