Neffy: the New Kid on the Block

Ok, this isn’t an ad, but I have to tell y’all about the literal coolest thing! There is a new epinephrine device on the market and guess what? It’s needle free! It’s called Neffy, and it’s a nasal spray. Because y’all know by now I love giving you bullet points in these posts, here are a few about Neffy:

• Each Neffy device contains 2 milligrams of epinephrine. 1 spray is the equivalent to 1 injection of an autoinjector. That means you'll still need to carry 2, but the Neffy nasal spray devices are significantly smaller than most autoinjectors. 

• Neffy is approved for use on people 66lb and above. A pediatric version is currently in the works.

• Neffy has a 30 month shelf life, much longer than current autoinjectors.

• It can tolerate temperatures up to 122 degrees Fahrenheit and can be frozen (it must be thawed before use).

• The product absorbs through the nose, so it doesn’t need to be inhaled., but those with a history of nasal surgery might not be able to use Neffy.
