Unmet need
Today, allergic rescue products are needle-based auto injectors that administer adrenaline to reverse life-threatening reactions (anaphylaxis). Whether self-administered or with the help of others, applying needle injections correctly is often intimidating, with the potential loss of precious life-saving minutes. Current solutions are costly and devices must be replaced frequently because adrenaline rapidly degrades during storage.
Our aim
With decades of no innovation, products like EpiPen dominates the market. Orexo will strive to bring to market a more fast-acting intranasal product, which is key in life-saving situations. Additionally, the single-dose nasal administration is easy to use and easy to teach others and easy to learn for caregivers.
