This photo shows how to use an epinephrine autoinjector. When using an autoinjector, hold it in your fist, with your fingers away from either end. Press it firmly into your outer thigh and hold it in place for 10 seconds. It is best to sit down and if you feel dizzy, to lie down. If you pass out, another person should lower you to the ground and raise your legs up to help blood flow to your heart and brain.
