Is a needle-free option for administering epinephrine coming out? Yes!

  • Inhaler

  • Nose spray

  • Sublingual film 

• Why it has been challenging to find alternative ways to administer epinephrine other than an autoinjector.

• How do we know the new forms of delivery will work? 

• How are companies proving that the new delivery method will work like the auto-injectors do?

• How will studies be done to show the FDA that the new methods should be approved for patients to use?

• Why do we need new ways to administer epinephrine?
