When an allergic reaction strikes, timing matters—and epinephrine is the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis. Today, there are more ways to deliver epinephrine than ever, from auto-injectors to nasal spray, with additional options being studied. But no matter the delivery method, the message is critical: epinephrine first—and fast. Joining us is allergist and FAACT Medical Advisory Board member and allergist, Dr. Manisha Relan, who breaks down why using epinephrine promptly matters, what happens when treatment is delayed, and how taking action quickly can impact the course of an allergic reaction.
