FDA Approves First Nasal Spray for Treatment of Anaphylaxis

ARS Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to empowering at-risk patients and caregivers to better protect patients from severe allergic reactions that could lead to anaphylaxis, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved neffy® (epinephrine nasal spray) 2 mg for the treatment of Type I Allergic Reactions, including anaphylaxis, in adults and children who weigh ≥30 kg (66 lbs.).

neffy® is expected to be available in the United States within eight weeks of FDA approval for patients who weigh 66 lbs. or greater. In the interim, patients can visit buff.ly/4dCUP22 to register for product updates, including when telemedicine services will be available. ARS Pharma plans to file a supplemental NDA application with the FDA for neffy (epinephrine nasal spray) for children who weigh under 66 lbs. by the end of the third quarter of 2024.

The shelf life of neffy® is 30 months and allows for temperature exposure up to 122°F (50°C), making it a potentially effective treatment if left in a car or outside for a length of time. If accidentally frozen, neffy can be thawed and administered.

Congratulations to ARS Pharma! This is an exciting day for the allergy community!
