Any time anyone else picks up my shoulder bag/pocketbook, they inevitably ask why my bag is so heavy. I try to regularly clean out its contents to eliminate any extra weight. One item I cannot eliminate is my allergy medicine bag. It contains two epipens, 2 different corticosteroids for my son's eczema, 2 prefilled Benadryl spoons and a tube of hydrocortisone. The asthma inhaler doesn't fit and to be honest, I don't carry it around daily since my son has mild viral-induced asthma (during colds and viruses) and I understand the epipen will do the same job should an unexpected episode occur. (God forbid.)
I decided to weigh my allergy medicine bag--it weighs 11.5 ounces, about three-quarters of a pound! How much does your filled allergy medicine bag weigh?

If you use Allergy Essentials USA EpiPen holder that is worn on your leg, your medicine bag will not be so heavy! This leg holder is discreet, lightweight and comfortable for all day wear! Best of all, you have your children's EpiPens ON you. Log onto: www.allergyessentialsusa.com to learn more!
Heh. At least the single dose Benadryl are available now. Used to be I hauled the whole bottle around in a ziploc baggie and hoped it didn't leak!
2 good points. Carrying the epi on your leg saves some of the weight, to be sure. And Libby, I hear ya, I used to carry those darn leaky bottles too!!! Messy even in the ziploc, LOL!
