Epinephrine is the first-line treatment for severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, where prompt intervention is crucial. Epinephrine sublingual film, a novel prodrug of epinephrine, is being developed to treat Type 1 allergic reactions, such as anaphylaxis. In the OASIS study, epinephrine sublingual film demonstrated equal or superior pharmacokinetics compared to intramuscular epinephrine in adult patients with oral allergy syndrome. The film led to rapid symptom resolution, with a median recovery time of 12 minutes. Additionally, stability tests showed that the film remained effective under extreme temperatures and real-world conditions, ensuring its reliability as an emergency treatment for anaphylaxis.
