Questions

What treatments are there for food allergy besides avoiding the food?

Oral immunotherapy is offered by some allergists in Canada and the US, and in the US the biologic omalizumab (Xolair) is approved for food allergy. Others, such as skin patches and new biologics, are still being studied. Ask your allergist what's available to you; our treatment guides explain the options.

Is there needle-free epinephrine?

Yes. neffy, an epinephrine nasal spray, is available in Canada for adults and children who weigh 30 kg or more, and in the US in two strengths. Your prescriber decides which device suits you.

Where do these updates come from?

Regulators such as the FDA and Health Canada, research news from the NIH and others, and company press releases, filtered for allergy news. Press releases are written by the companies themselves, so read them as announcements, not independent reviews.

A tap on the ResQBand Tap Card opens your emergency steps and a Call 911 button on most phones, and the helper can alert your emergency contacts with one more tap. The kit adds a tracker, a temperature disc and a thermal pack for your epinephrine.
