Jext

Jext administration requires careful technique. In an emergency, it can be used through clothing if necessary, aiming for the middle of the outer thigh. It is suitable for both adults and children, as long as prescribed guidelines are followed. The injection should not be given into the buttocks, hands, or feet, and only one dose should be administered per severe allergic reaction.

After use, it is crucial to seek emergency medical help immediately. Additional training from a healthcare professional is recommended for proper usage.

The potential side effects may include temporary increased heart rate, tremors or nervousness, pale or flushed skin, headache, dizziness, weakness, anxiety or feeling of panic, slight pain or bruising at injection site.

If you experience any side effects, including any not mentioned in the patient information leaflet, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

In case of overdose or accidental injection of the adrenaline, you should always seek immediate medical help. You should see your doctor to replace the used Jext as soon as possible.

You should avoid alcohol after you use Jext since alcohol exacerbates the impact of adrenaline.

If you are pregnant or breast feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine. If you are pregnant, do not hesitate to use Jext in an emergency, since you and your baby’s life may be in danger.

The ability to drive and use machines is unlikely to be affected by the administration of an adrenaline injection but may be affected by an anaphylactic reaction. If affected, do not drive.

Individuals with known severe allergies, including food allergies, insect sting allergies, and those with a history of anaphylaxis, are most at risk and may require Jext as an emergency treatment.

Jext is designed to provide rapid emergency treatment for anaphylaxis. The adrenaline in Jext works almost immediately, typically within seconds to minutes of injection, helping to reverse the life-threatening symptoms of a severe allergic reaction by constricting blood vessels, relaxing airway muscles, and reducing swelling.

Regular Jext users should maintain an ongoing management plan with their doctor. This includes regular check-ups, understanding potential trigger avoidance, and ensuring the auto-injector is always within reach.

There are certain medical conditions that can affect the effectiveness of Jext or create potential risks. Patients with heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, or thyroid disorders should discuss their medical history with a doctor.

Comprehensive training is crucial for effective Jext emergency use. Both users and close family members should receive hands-on training from healthcare professionals, understand proper injection techniques, recognise anaphylaxis symptoms, and know when and how to administer the auto-injector in high-stress situations.

Although stress doesn’t reduce Jext’s medical effectiveness, it can complicate emergency response. You should develop emergency action plans, practice scenarios, and potentially engage in stress management techniques to ensure calm and effective Jext administration during a critical allergic reaction.

Jext is provided in a plastic carry case in order to protect it while being carried or during storage. Jext should be removed from the carry case before use and should be removed during inspection of Jext. Return Jext to the carry case after inspection.

You should not dispose off Jext via wastewater or household waste. Instead, ask your pharmacist how to throw away medicines you no longer use. These measures will help protect the environment.
