Basking Ridge, N.J., June 18, 2013 – Pro football player and 2012 most valuable player (MVP) Adrian Peterson and professional family expert Jo Frost have potentially life-threatening (severe) allergies and are partnering with Mylan Specialty L.P., the fully integrated specialty pharmaceutical business of Mylan Inc. (Nasdaq: MYL), to raise awareness of this significant health problem. In recognition of the 25th anniversary of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of EpiPen® (epinephrine) Auto-Injector, Mylan Specialty is launching a multi-channel campaign to further improve preparedness for life-threatening allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) and to encourage people to Show Us Your EpiPens™ at www.25YearsofEpiPen.com.
 

“Life-threatening allergic reactions are unpredictable and symptoms can progress rapidly from mild to severe, which is why immediate access to epinephrine, the only first-line treatment for anaphylaxis is critical,” said Phil Lieberman, M.D., Clinical Professor of Medicine and Pediatrics, University of Tennessee College of Medicine, Memphis, Tenn. “I’ve seen many patients underestimate their risk of anaphylaxis and overestimate their preparedness. People with severe allergies should have an anaphylaxis action plan in place, which includes avoiding known allergens, recognizing symptoms, having access to two epinephrine auto-injectors at all times and seeking immediate emergency medical care should anaphylaxis occur.”
 

This effort, spearheaded by Adrian and Jo, will demonstrate how living with severe allergies is part of their life experience, but doesn’t define who they are or hold them back from success. They are asking others to join in the 25th anniversary celebration and help spread the word about the importance of being better prepared for anaphylaxis by uploading a photo to show how you take your EpiPen Auto-Injectors with you everywhere you go from home to school, to the office and even on trips and vacations. Additionally, Adrian and Jo are dispelling misperceptions about anaphylaxis throughout the campaign, including a series of videos featured on the website.
 

For every photo submission, Mylan Specialty will donate $25 to leading allergy non-profit groups up to a total of $25,000. In addition, people who upload a photo can choose to receive an exclusive copy of the EpiPen® Show and Tell magazine, featuring original photos, personal tips and more from Adrian and Jo (participation requires following certain guidelines, including having a valid prescription). Uploaded, approved photos will be added to an online mosaic displaying where people of all ages with severe allergies have proudly carried their EpiPen Auto-Injectors across the country and beyond.
 

“I’ve always been serious about my football career, but as of last year, I learned that I have severe allergies to shellfish, which I also now take very seriously,” said Adrian Peterson, running back and 2012 pro football MVP. “I have an anaphylaxis action plan that includes avoiding my allergic triggers and carrying two EpiPen Auto-Injectors with me everywhere I go. To help spread the word about what it takes to be better prepared for anaphylaxis, I’m asking you to Show Us Your EpiPens at www.25YearsofEpiPen.com.”

Unlike Adrian who had his first allergic reaction as an adult, Jo experienced anaphylaxis as a kid and has dealt with it ever since. Jo manages multiple severe allergies, including peanuts, tree nuts and shellfish. Adrian and Jo both have anaphylaxis action plans in place, which includes avoiding their allergens and carrying two EpiPen Auto-Injectors at all times, which is why they’ve joined forces on this campaign to underscore how important it is to be better prepared for anaphylaxis.
 

“For 25 years, EpiPen Auto-Injector has been part of the anaphylaxis action plans and life experience of the millions of people at risk for anaphylaxis,” said Heather Bresch, CEO of Mylan. “Our anniversary celebration is the perfect opportunity for us to reflect on the progress made to date and renew our commitment to support the community impacted by severe allergies, as we continue our educational efforts and support into the future.”
 

In recognition of the millions of people who have made EpiPen Auto-Injector the No. 1 prescribed treatment for 25 years, Mylan Specialty is expanding its long-standing support of the allergy community through added national and local efforts, such as offering a 25th anniversary $0 co-pay card, sponsoring a series of allergy awareness baseball games and food allergy walks across the country and continuing the EpiPen4Schools™ program.
 

Despite the increasing prevalence of food allergies, the most common cause of anaphylaxis, many people who are at risk for anaphylaxis are not ready to appropriately respond when it happens. Avoidance of allergic triggers is the critical first step to prevent a serious allergic reaction, but accidental exposure may still happen, so people need to be prepared to respond if anaphylaxis occurs.

About Anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening allergic reaction that has many possible triggers, occurs quickly, without warning, and must be treated immediately with epinephrine. Symptoms may include hives or redness of the skin, tightness in the throat, nausea, dizziness, breathing problems, a decrease in blood pressure and/or fainting. Anaphylaxis can be caused by triggers such as food, stinging and biting insects, medicines, latex or even exercise. Epinephrine is the only first-line treatment for anaphylaxis. According to the food allergy guidelines developed by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, if experiencing anaphylaxis, a person should use an epinephrine auto-injector and seek immediate emergency medical attention. Epinephrine is a naturally-occurring hormone, also known as adrenaline, and it should be available at all times to patients at risk. Delays in epinephrine administration have been associated with negative health consequences, even possibly death.
