Abstract:
The present invention provides novel methods of mimicking epinephrine plasma pharmacokinetic parameters/plasma epinephrine levels of an at least one l-epinephrine injection in humans with an at least one dosage of a sublingual l-epinephrine formulation; and includes methods of maintaining constant elevated plasma epinephrine level(s) by the consecutive dosing of sublingual l-epinephrine. These methods are especially important when l-epinephrine injection is not available or not possible. The present invention allows small, l-epinephrine sublingual tablets to be carried by soldiers and others, such as in a remote location or battlefield, when emergency medical services are not readily available or accessible. The inventive methods can sustain life and restore proper blood perfusion when someone is having cardiopulmonary difficulty until medical help or transport can arrive.

Claim (Index 20):
A method comprising the steps of repeat dosing of an at least one sublingual l-epinephrine formulation to elevate plasma epinephrine levels to maintain at least one of blood pressure, pulse, and breathing in a human patient having at least one of anaphylaxis, anaphylactic shock, sepsis, septic shock, respiratory difficulty, and cardiac difficulty; when an at least one injection of an injectable liquid l-epinephrine formulation is not available/not possible; at least until emergency medical services arrives to treat/transport said human patient; said human patient optionally comprising a soldier on a battlefield/remote location; said method optionally comprising the later step of administering said at least one injection of an injectable liquid l-epinephrine formulation if available/possible.
