The epi-pens I get here in Ontario Canada for my daughter's anaphylactic
reactions to milk are by prescription by her doctor. The name of them are
"EpiPen Jr."  It also says on the pen "unidose 0.15 mg epinephrine
auto-injector".  The DIN number on it is 00578657. Hope it helps you in your
quest. I have had to use it once on my daughter and thank God it was available.
Good luck.
