If you want to buy multiple dose vials of epinephrine and load your own auto injectors (convince your prescriber) you can and the cost is minimal comparatively.
However, that brings up a whole different set of concerns. Effective storage, sterility, training, accurate loading, ............ I imagine many physicians don't want go through the trouble and don't have the time to insure that the process is done correctly. The EpiPen is pretty much idiot proof. That's why Mylan thinks they have the market cornered.
Living in San Diego, it was just a cheaper option is all; and the auto injectors (non Epi Pen) weren't covered by my insurance, probably for the reasons you just mentioned.
