<p>It&#8217;s an epinephrine injectable device designed to save the lives of patients suffering from anaphylaxis.</p>
<p>Twin cities allergist, Dr. Douglas Mcmahon, invented the device a few years ago while tinkering in his lab. He now hopes to get funding to help bring the pocket-sized epinephrine injector to the market and at a much lower price than <a href="http://www.nbcnews.com/business/consumer/mylan-execs-gave-themselves-raises-they-hiked-epipen-prices-n636591">the recently price inflated $600 Epi-pen</a>.</p>
<p>Check out <a href="https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/allergystop-affordable-epinephrine-injection-health">Allergystop&#8217;s indiegogo campaign here</a>.</p>

<p>Other Epi-pen alternative devices are bulky or involve syringes that require special training. Dr. Mcmahon hopes to open the device up to investors to get it FDA-approved and doesn&#8217;t want the cost of Allergystop to go above $50.</p>
<p>They have a long way to go to hit their $200,000 goal, so help them out if you can!</p>
