These products may be mistakenly used rather than FDA-approved injectable epinephrine. These products look similar due to similar packaging and containers/. These nasal solutions are not sterile, and injections of non-sterile solutions can trigger serious and life-threatening infections. Due to FDA warnings, Endo USA recalled its unapproved nasal product in December 2024. To date and despite repeated notifications, BPI Labs has not complied with the FDA’s ordered recall. Healthcare professionals and you, the consumer, should be aware of the potential dangers of these products. https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-and-availability/fda-warns-health-care-professionals-not-use-epinephrine-nasal-solutions-bpi-labs-and-endo-usa #epinephrine #nasal #injectable #endousa #bpilabs".

FDA approves first nasal spray for severe allergic reactions
Neffy is an Rx epinephrine nasal spray for adults and children weighing at least 66 lbs for the treatment of anaphylactic shock.
'...the drug is meant to be available about eight weeks from the FDA approval.
In terms of cost, the fee is about $200 out of pocket.
"For people who are on commercial insurance, the cost is going to be limited to about $25," Gounder said. "And then for people who are underinsured or uninsured, it's going to be made no cost for at least some of them, which is really important, because 40% of kids in the United States are on Medicaid or public insurance.'
The nasal spray "Neffy" is the first needle-free option for severe allergic reactions that the FDA has approved. The spray would be an alternative to EpiPens.
