Abstract: The invention provides compositions including epinephrine nanoparticles and methods for therapeutic use of the compositions for the treatment of conditions responsive to epinephrine such as a cardiac event or an allergic reaction, particularly anaphylaxis. The epinephrine nanoparticles can be incorporated into orally-disintegrating and fast-disintegrating tablet pharmaceutical formulations and can significantly increase the sublingual bioavailability of epinephrine, and thereby reduce the epinephrine dose required. Additionally, the invention provides methods for fabrication of stabilized epinephrine nanoparticles for use in the described compositions.

Abstract: Described herein are formulations for fast-disintegrating epinephrine tablets which can be prepared for buccal or sublingual administration, wherein the fast-disintegrating epinephrine tablets can produce plasma epinephrine concentrations substantially equivalent to those achieved by traditional injectable dosage forms comprising epinephrine injected either subcutaneously or intramuscularly.

Abstract: Described herein are formulations for fast-disintegrating epinephrine tablets which can be prepared for buccal or sublingual administration, wherein the fast-disintegrating epinephrine tablets can produce plasma epinephrine concentrations similar to those achieved by an approximately 0.3 mg epinephrine dose in the thigh (Epi-Pen).
