neffy is the first and only needle-free treatment for Type I allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis for adults and children who weigh ≥30 kg (66 lbs.)

SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 26, 2024-- GoodRx (Nasdaq: GDRX), the leading prescription savings platform in the U.S., today announced it is working with ARS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“ARS Pharmaceuticals”) to offer the lowest discounted cash price for neffy® in retail pharmacy locations. Available for purchase in-store this week, consumers who have been prescribed neffy can now access a pack of two single-use neffy devices for $199 at more than 70,000 pharmacies nationwide exclusively through GoodRx.

Approved by the Food and Drug Administration in August, neffy is the first needle-free treatment for Type I allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, offering an innovative alternative to auto-injectors. Unlike traditional methods, neffy delivers epinephrine nasally, avoiding needle injections.

"At GoodRx, we’re not just motivated by making essential medications more accessible and affordable, but also by championing innovation within well-established markets," said Dorothy Gemmell, Chief Commercial Officer at GoodRx. “We’re committed to offering neffy at a lower price so we can help break down long-standing barriers in anaphylaxis treatment and offer an option that millions of people, especially children and adults who need to carry epinephrine, can use to receive timely and effective treatment.”

Allergies and allergy symptoms impact over 100 million Americans annually, with more than 50 million experiencing an allergic reaction each year, underscoring the critical need for accessible treatment. Anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction involving the whole body, can induce symptoms such as difficulty breathing, fast heartbeat, hives, nausea, and in severe cases, loss of consciousness, often occurring within seconds or minutes of exposure to an allergen. neffy provides a much-needed option that enhances accessibility and affordability for millions of Americans.

“We’re thrilled about neffy’s U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval, so people with severe allergies don’t have to endure needle-injection of epinephrine, which can be fraught with anxiety and fear, and can carry a device that’s small and effective. Through our partnership with GoodRx, we can offer our innovation in retail pharmacies along with patient programs to support its affordability,” said Richard Lowenthal, Co-Founder, President, and Chief Executive Officer of ARS Pharmaceuticals. "We’re grateful that GoodRx’s platform has helped us reach more patients and caregivers to access a needle-free option so they can respond swiftly during a Type 1 allergic reaction.”

By partnering with nearly 150 brands across pharmaceutical manufacturers, medical device companies, and OTC medicines, GoodRx directly links savings and patient support programs to high-intent audiences through its platform, enhancing access to more cost-effective treatments across the healthcare industry. The company recently announced an affordability program with Boehringer Ingelheim to provide its Humira® biosimilar (adalimumab) at a low cash price available exclusively on GoodRx. Similarly, the company has partnered with Sanofi to offer its insulin Lantus at just $35.
