Study Overview

Brief Summary

This study is a preliminary report of pharmacokinetic data of epinephrine administered via intranasal route (IN) comparing with intramuscular (IM) route in healthy adult volunteers.

Detailed Description

Patients are reluctant to use Epipen® on emergency basis, perhaps because of improperly training, hesitancy and fear of needle. Other route of administration of epinephrine (EPI) may be more benefit such as intranasal route.
