Development of a sublingual tablet that replaces the epi pen as a treatment for anaphylaxis

Project Overview

Anaphylaxis is a fatal allergic reaction if it is left untreated. The current method for treating anaphylaxis is an epinephrine auto injector. These auto injectors are rising in costs therefore, a different delivery method that is less expensive would make treating anaphylaxis more accessible. A tablet that will be delivered sublingually will provide a cheaper alternative to the novel epinephrine auto injector as the blood vessels underneath the tongue are vast and may provide a faster route for epinephrine into the bloodstream of the patient.
