The pharmacy should be able to give you a longer expiration date than 7 months! If they can't, don't accept it. Ask for your prescription to be sent to a competitors pharmacy and get a longer expiration date from them. Remember, you are the consumer. They are working for you.
And I am not sure how available it is yet, but the generic is here in NC. I filled a prescription with the generic yesterday. Good luck.
I am the one who posted about our Epipen only being good for 7 mos. My dh picked it up and did not check the date (he had no idea...) and of course, the pharmacy would not let him exchange since he came home with it. I talked to a friend today who has a dd with a peanut allergy also and she said she has gotten pens good for less than a year several times. Ours have typically been good for right at a year.
Looking forward to hearing more about the generic option as these become more widely available.
