My doctor/pharmacy was apparently unaware of the differences or neglected to inform me. At some point in the last 4 years I started getting generic Adrenaclicks instead of EpiPens. The difference between EpiPens and generic Andrenaclicks was never presented to me as a different choice in medications, just an "expensive brand name" vs "cheap generic" choice. I wonder who screwed that one up.

I did notice the different usage directions (mainly two safety caps with the generic vs one for the EpiPen) but never thought that the FDA considered them to not be equivalents. At least I made sure to carefully read the administration instructions and have trained with dummy, training auto-injectors and expired, real auto-injectors!

It's your doctor's fault if you didn't get the substitute earlier. As adrenaclick and epipen are not actually equivalent (even though ultimately they deliver the same medicine, in the same dose, in the same manner), the pharmacist is not supposed to do anything but provide what was prescribed.
