Travelling abroad
When travelling to another country it's important to keep to your Jext® action plan and make sure you take the same level of care with your condition as you do at home. Click below for some useful travel sheets to help you look after yourself abroad.
Back to school
Your child spends a lot of their week at school, so if they suffer with an allergy it's important for you to keep their school informed. If one of their Jext®s is kept at school, make sure the expiry date is registered with the expiry alert service and make sure to discuss the allergy and what to do in an emergency with the person in charge of welfare.
Carry two Jext® pens
It is recommended you carry two Jext® pens with you at all times. Early use of adrenaline improves the outcome and recovery from anaphylaxis, but if symptoms don’t improve or the original symptoms re-appear, a second Jext® can be used after about 5-15 minutes.
