@@DragonSt3alth I am allergic to eye drops, nasal sprays, cortic, all antihistamine except diphenhydramine & other gen 1 antihistamines, sunscreen, dyes, and latex amongst a number of other medications bc of that single ingredient. It's mind-blowing.
Wouldn't it sort of offset the symptoms if even a little? Unless it's especially severe, in which case, would only the injectable be safe in this case? That's unfortunate to anyone finding out the hard way.
@@DivineLightPaladin I appreciate you asking. I was diagnosed with the ethylenediamine dihydrochloride allergy the same day I was diagnosed with a ln allergy to cocomidopropyl (derived from coconut) when my daughter was 10 months old (she is 17? Now). For the 1st allergy I was handed a very long list of medications and other items to avoid due to the severe reaction I had on the prick test. This includes meds like hydroxizine and skin topical medications and more like inhalers (it's in the proelllant), eye drops, anti nausea meds like the zogran I took full term bc of hyperemesis gravidarum) etc. I I get a very painful rash so it's not life-threatening, but i believe it also progressed my latex allergy as well bc - not kidding - the drs prescribed multiple topical medications containing the allergen to treat the full body rash and hair loss I was already experiencing. The coconut allergy also progressed (it's also a latex x like the first allergy) and now I carry 4 epipens at all times and an housebound during the holidays bc I'm now airborne reactive to poinsettias, & anaphylactic to avocados and bananas. It's even in manny medical and other lubricants). In an emergency if I'm in a hospital unconscious and it's in a necessary med to save my life that can't be compounded I wouldn't really have a choice. But I can tell you my airway slammed shut during an upper endoscopy 5 years ago so they had to stop the procedure. I'm currently working on a full lift of my allergens for my primary - and I believe that number is in the triple digits, so I try to avoid that ingredient at all costs. I'm not even medicated yet for bechet's disease bc my drs are trying to figure out a safe alternative to the corticosteroids I'm allergic to. I haven't done an all inclusive ethylenediamine allergy list video on my channel yet, but I am working on one ad I build my list for my dr. This stuff is in so many things but it's thankfully a rare allergy.
@@DivineLightPaladin I replied earlier but no idea why it didn't stick. I have to avoid it unless it's an emergency situation but might still react. That single ingredient makes he allergic to so many things it's probably triple digits. I get a hellfire rash
I'll take the shot. I took the nasal spray for low blood sugar....my face KILLED ME for a whole day straight. Horrible. A shot is nothing compared to that
You realize don't you that this is completely different than the spray you used for BP, don't you? As for me, when I get stung by a bee, I'll take whatever is handy at the time. I'll take whatever side effect rather than death. ✌🏼🫶🏼🖖🏼
@VoteBlue4Peace-LoveInUSAagain Obviously they're different. I'm just expressing my experience with the Baqsimi, it was terrible. I take insulin injections 4-6 times a day. And pricked my finger just as many before I got dexcom. The shots are nothing compared to the pain the nasal spray for blood sugar caused me. Like I said if I needed something for anaphylactic shock and had to choose shot or nasal spray... I'm taking the shot every time.
Many people are phobic of needles There's no sharp to dispose of afterward Affordable to manufacture Easy to use for most ages Comparatively difficult to misuse or injure yourself with
I'd say it's safer, no matter how many times people get to train with fake epipens, there is always someone who messes something up in the moment of stress and accidentally discharges the needle in the wrong place/ hurts themselves with it. Then there's also the size, EpiPen containers (especially if you carry multiple) can get pretty bulky. And it's likely going to be easier to teach a kid to administer it themselves & be less scared about the process. There's also definitely some drawbacks, but I think it might be a good solution for some people.
@@lenny7877that's why I like the Auvi Q brand version of the EpiPens. It's about the size of a small deck of cards and it actually talks you through how to do it in case of emergency if the allergic person is unable to talk or freaking out. I wish more doctors pushed them instead of the regular EpiPens. I can still see people messing up with these or if someone also carries Narcan, which quickly looks identical, they might dose the person with the wrong drug in the panic and chaos.
I'm allergic to it - inactive ingredients contain ethylenediamine dihydrochloride derived ingredients. But I'm thrilled for those this can help!
The irony in being allergic to a drug used to treat allergic reactions is staggering. 😮

Just wait until insurance companies start gouging the price of it
Happy I’ll have something smaller for travel- it’s such a pain carrying one when trying to be minimalist
I wish we could get this in the UK. It would completely change how we treat anaphylaxis

YES MA'AM! I am a glucagon over baqsimi girl every day of the week!

but if your tongue is already swelling will it be less effective than the pen format?
That’s exciting! Much less invasive. What is the new and wonderful device called?
What is the price compared to the pen?
Can someone explain the advantages to a nasal spray or why one might want something like this as an alternative?

Safety, comfort, supply chain, easier manufacture and probably longer shelf life since it doesn’t need to be injection sterile

2 in a package, size, no needle, ease of use.
Hopefully, price!!! 🫣
Do I need to continue?
That's ideal! Thank you Dr ✨
How much is it going to cost
Ten million dollars in the US, 3 bucks in any civilized country
Finally!
Better late than never.
This is a dumb question but could this work to instantly stop hives as they’re happening?
Great question
That'll be $300 dollars sir
Better than $600
So any nano particules in that, doc ?
Its the same plastic casing as a spray for fentanyl user overdose medicine.
It also looks like any other nasal applicator, like Flonase.
I wonder how much these are, 2000$ per spray Im betting..
Great news! Might say you have a nose for news 😅
Ugh. I'd take a shot any day over a nasal spray.
That looks like my sumatriptan sprays!
And it will be monopolized and sell for only $99999999.99
Narcan...lol
