New emergency treatment for allergic reactions is now available in the form of -cos spray in the UK.
The first emergency treatment without the first needle for anaphylaxis in the form of cos spray is now available in the UK.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Products Regulatory Agencies (MHRA) have approved Adrenalin (Epineprin) CocoSpray, the first emergency treatment for anaphylactic.
The founder of Natasha Allergy Research Foundation expressed joy in the news.
She said she provides a “easy and accessible” method of giving a drug that saves life rather than injections and provides another option to prevent treatment.
Julian Beach, a MHRA medical quality and access director of MHRA, said: “I am pleased to approve the first nasal spray formulation without the first needle of the adrenaline for the emergency treatment of anaphylaxes in the UK because patient safety is a top priority.
“So far, adrenaline for management has been available only through automatic injections.
“This represents an important new option, while the adrenaline automatic syringe remains a treatment that can save life to save life.
“We continue to encourage everyone to be accustomed to responding to emergency situations, and all those around them at risk of serious allergic reactions.
“Resources and instructions are provided on the MHRA website for people to prepare.”
Anaphylaxis is a sudden and threatening allergic reaction, which can lead to a drop in blood pressure and causing breathing difficulties.
EURNEFFY is intended for adults and children weighing more than 30kg (about 66LB), and can also be used when people have cold or nose blocked.
It is a single capacity co -spray that delivers the entire contents (2mg) when activated.
People remind you that they should not press the plunger before inserting the product into the nose hole. Otherwise, a single capacity will be lost.
MHRA said that if the patient needs a second dose, he should always carry two nasal sprays and tell his family and friends where they are.
Natasha, the daughter of Ednan-Laterouse, died in 2016 after eating a pre-baguette containing sesame seeds.
She said:
“But we know that some people are reluctant to use adrenaline automatic syringes, because some people hurt the needle and hurt someone.
“This can delay adrenaline administration, and every second, food allergic emergency may be delayed.
“Coco spray is a more easy and easy way to administer this life and is good news for people with food allergies.
“The extra supply of these nasal adrenaline devices must now be another option that can be used in school.”
The spokesman of the drug company behind ALK’s spray said:
ALK continues to discuss with the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare to agree with the price.
If the NHS list price is agreed and the product is available, the doctor can prescribe a nasal spray.
