Maybe a Better Epinephrine Option for Children with Food Allergies?

This headline caught my eye: "Children Show Greater Epinephrine Exposure with Neffy Than Adults". I have been following the progress of Neffy for some time now and have wondered if it would be difficult for users, especially children, to use the nasal spray effectively. I remember a doctor giving me very specific directions about how to use Nasacort most effectively so the medicine would reach the right spot(s) and work best. My memory of that conversation is that I should insert the nasal spray nozzle pretty far up my nose and inhale very deeply, much like one would imagine the way a coke user sniffs cocaine. It was an effective analogy. Using Neffy, a life-saving medication, is far more serious. Mistakes in administering Neffy, like epinephrine autoinjectors, must be avoided at all costs.

Perhaps it is easier to use Neffy than I expected! That would be welcome news indeed. Please take a look at the above linked article from HCPLive and see what you think.
