Specifically, this study assessed nursing time and drug costs related to the dispensing of anaphylaxis kits. The secondary objective was to assess the tolerability of ILE first doses in the home. It was hypothesized that ILE first doses in the home would be well tolerated after clinical review of patients using the lipid risk screening tool.
