Kaléo to donate epinephrine injectors to elementary schools
August 10, 2017
Richmond-based Kaléo pharmaceutical company is offering free Auvi-Q epinephrine auto-injectors — devices used to treat severe allergic reactions — to more than 67,000 public elementary schools in the United States.
The new program is called “Q Your School” and will provide up to four Auvi-Q cartons — with each carton containing two epinephrine auto-injectors and a trainer device — per school per academic year.
Auvi-Q was invented by twins Evan and Eric Edwards, who grew up in the Richmond area. The brothers developed the device because of their own history of life-threatening food allergies.
