Twin Auto-Injector to rival Epipen
http://www.rednova.com/ne…source=r_health
“Twinject is the only FDA-approved product that contains two doses of epinephrine. Bonanzino said the only other self-administered treatment for anaphylaxis, or a severe allergic reaction to things such as bee stings and food, is a single-dose auto-injector called the EpiPen, developed by Napa, Calif.-based Dey Laboratories in the 1980s.
The two-dose system made the product attractive to Verus, said Kathy Sweeney, who handles public relations for the company.
“It just made a lot of sense for them to go with the two-dose system,” Sweeney said. “A lot of cases now have a need for two doses. This is the first new product to address anaphylaxis in 20 years.”"
This should be a welcome addition to the limited treatments for anaphylactic shock. Interesting to see how long it takes to get to Australia.
