Is there an inhaler that could prevent anaphylaxis?

No: There are no inhalers on the market that prevent anaphylaxis. The treatment for anaphylaxis continues to be injectable epinephrine.

No: Injectable Epinephrine remains the standard of care for treatment of anaphylaxis. In the past an inhaled Epinephrine was under development but never made it to market.
