MEDPAX Giveaway – Your Child’s “Safety in a Box”

One mom’s struggle with her child’s nut allergy turns into a great giveaway for you! Here’s her story:

****
In the fall of 2006, my son, Owen, was diagnosed with a nut allergy. I set out on a mission to make everyone aware of his allergy. I needed to ensure that not only did his teachers, babysitters, and family members know about his allergy, but that they could quickly access information about his allergy as well as medications that he may need urgently. And so, I made my first version of MEDPAX™. I received a tremendous amount of positive feedback from teachers, school nurses, and parents. They were reassured by the information and impressed with the convenience and portability of the storage kit. I felt better about leaving him with other caregivers and, they were relieved to have his medications securely stored with his treatment plan clearly outlined. Soon, I began getting inquiries on where they could order them!

As a pediatrician, I am keenly aware of the complications that can result when medical conditions, such as food allergies and asthma are not managed precisely. MEDPAX™ can greatly improve awareness and safety for children with food allergies and asthma.

MEDPAX™ is a medication storage device to safely identify a child’s medical condition and properly store medications to ensure timely delivery of necessary medical treatment. MEDPAX™ is safety by design.

    I saw for the first time in 11 years a Medpax box for epi pens and want to know if they are still being made. This is a fantastic product.
