Intranasal adrenaline has recently become available in Australia as a needle-free alternative to adrenaline autoinjectors for anaphylaxis management. Intranasal adrenaline may be particularly suitable for patients with barriers to adrenaline autoinjector usage, such as needle aversion or poor compliance with autoinjector carriage. However, although the data supporting real-world efficacy of intranasal adrenaline for anaphylaxis are growing, there is no published evidence confirming its efficacy in insect venom anaphylaxis. We report three cases of intranasal adrenaline (neffy, CSL Seqirus, Victoria, Australia) used to treat insect venom-induced anaphylaxis. Clinicians should be aware of the availability and current level of evidence for intranasal adrenaline for anaphylaxis management.
