The management of food allergy has evolved over the past several years with regulatory approval of food allergy therapeutics as well as the common practice of oral immunotherapy. Whether a patient or family chooses one of these therapies or avoidance, they are still considered at risk of reaction, and thus clinicians still need to stay up to date with the latest advancements in the management of anaphylaxis in patients with food allergy. This review will highlight some of these updates, starting with the definition, diagnosis, and classifications of anaphylaxis. It will then review the latest updates in the management of food anaphylaxis in the community. Finally, the review will discuss the latest in epinephrine including recommendations on epinephrine dosing and novel routes of epinephrine administration.

Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs
Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...

Adrenergic Agonists: Therapeutic Uses
Emergency and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) applications: Pressor agents increase blood pressure, heart rate, and contractility in shock and organ failure situations. Dopamine can induce vasodilation and stimulate adrenoceptors. Endogenous catecholamines are effective in treating cardiogenic shock. α2-agonists like clonidine can reverse anesthesia-induced hypertension.
