Dr. Forester weighs in on the new FDA-approved needle-free nasal spray as a life-saving alternative to traditional epinephrine injector pens, offering patients a convenient and effective option for treating severe allergic reactions.

“The concern has been that some people avoid administering their epinephrine when they need it, because of a needle phobia, or they’re afraid it might hurt,” said Forester. ”Delay in the use of epinephrine is known to be a risk factor for more severe reactions, so getting a treatment option that people will use when they should use it, well it’s nice to have options.”
