Milbridge doctor featured in New York Times story on medical alternatives
Dr. Kathleen London, a Milbridge family doctor, said she may have found a cost-effective alternative to the EpiPen, a medical device for injecting epinephrine during an allergic emergency.
The New York Times reported Tuesday that London, who was frustrated by the cost of the EpiPen, devised a “workaround for her patients.”
“I basically build an auto-injector. I can do it for pediatric and adult dosing,” she told the Times.
EpiPens typically cost more than $600. London charges her patients $50 for the initial device and $2.50 per refill.
