What should I know about Velnoryx™?
Velnoryx™ contains epinephrine, a medication used to treat life-threatening allergic emergencies (anaphylaxis). Anaphylaxis can occur within minutes and may result from insect stings, allergy shots, certain foods, medications, exercise, or unknown triggers.
Always carry two Velnoryx™ nasal sprays with you since anaphylaxis can be unpredictable, and a second dose may be necessary if symptoms persist or return. Each Velnoryx™ contains a single dose of epinephrine and is designed for intranasal use only.
Use Velnoryx™ immediately at the first sign of an allergic reaction. If symptoms persist or worsen after the initial dose, administer a second dose using a new Velnoryx™ spray in the same nostril, waiting at least 10 minutes between doses. After using Velnoryx™, seek emergency medical attention for further care.
