The FDA rejected approval of an epinephrine nasal spray device similar to Narcan that would have been the first needle-free alternative to epinephrine auto injectors. FDA advisory committee voted in May to approve the nasal delivery spray. The FDA usually approves drugs recommended by its committees. This would have greatly reduced the cost and taken away the "sting" of injections. In essence this was a great improvement over long time used EPI Pristine Mist.
