Abstract This study evaluates adherence to adrenaline autoinjector prescriptions in a cohort of well‐characterized anaphylaxis patients. The overall retrieval rate was 76% with the highest rate in patients with severe anaphylaxis. Special attention is needed in patients with unknown elicitors and in young adults, comprising the largest proportion of non‐adherent patients. Trial registration No intervention performed.
