FDA approves the first needle-free nasal spray for treating severe allergic reactions.

The FDA has approved a new nasal spray called Neffy to treat severe allergic reactions. This is the first needle-free alternative to shots like the EpiPen.

Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening allergic reaction that affects millions of Americans. Symptoms include hives, swelling, vomiting, and difficulty breathing.

Many people don't fill their prescriptions for injectable epinephrine, and many others use it incorrectly. Neffy is sprayed into the nose and can be life-changing for people with severe allergies.

Some children are afraid of needles, making it hard to treat them during an allergic reaction. Neffy is designed to be easy to use, especially for children.

Neffy works as well as injected epinephrine and will be available through discount programs for about $200. Insurance companies will decide whether to cover the product and at what cost.
