Finding Neffy Shouldn't Be This Hard — But Here's How to Do It

You've got a prescription for Neffy, the first needle-free epinephrine nasal spray. Now you just need to find a pharmacy that actually has it. If you've already been turned away once or twice, take a breath — this guide will walk you through exactly how to track it down.

Neffy was FDA-approved in August 2024 and is still building out its pharmacy distribution network. That means not every pharmacy stocks it yet. But with the right approach, you can find it faster than you'd think.

Tip #1: Use Medfinder to Check Real-Time Inventory

The single fastest way to find Neffy in stock is to use Medfinder. Here's how it works:

1. Go to medfinder.com
2. Search for "Neffy"
3. Enter your zip code
4. See which pharmacies near you have Neffy in stock right now

Medfinder checks real-time pharmacy inventory data, so you're not just guessing. You can see actual availability before you drive across town or call a dozen pharmacies.

This is especially useful for newer medications like Neffy that aren't universally stocked yet. For more details on checking stock, see our guide on how to check if a pharmacy has Neffy in stock.

Tip #2: Try Independent Pharmacies

If chain pharmacies like CVS, Walgreens, or Rite Aid don't have Neffy, try calling independent pharmacies in your area. Here's why:

• Flexible ordering: Independent pharmacies can often order medications from their wholesaler the same day and have them available within 24 to 48 hours.
• Personalized service: Independent pharmacists are more likely to go the extra mile to help you find what you need.
• Different distributors: They may use different wholesalers than chain pharmacies, which means they may have access to stock that larger chains don't.

Don't overlook specialty pharmacies either, especially those that focus on allergy medications. They're more likely to stock Neffy as part of their regular inventory.

Tip #3: Time Your Refills Strategically

Pharmacies typically receive shipments from their distributors on specific days of the week. Here are some timing strategies:

• Call early in the week: Many pharmacies place orders on Monday or Tuesday and receive shipments mid-week.
• Go during off-peak hours: Visit or call the pharmacy in the morning on a weekday when staff are less rushed and can help you check inventory or place a special order.
• Plan ahead: Don't wait until your current Neffy expires to look for a replacement. Start searching 2 to 4 weeks before you need it.

Neffy has a shelf life, so pharmacies don't want to over-order. This means stock levels can be tight. Planning ahead gives you more options.

More Ways to Track Down Neffy

Ask Your Doctor to Send the Prescription to a Specific Pharmacy

If you've found a pharmacy that has Neffy in stock using Medfinder, ask your doctor to send the electronic prescription directly to that pharmacy. This saves time and ensures the pharmacy knows to hold the medication for you.

Check the Manufacturer's Resources

ARS Pharmaceuticals, the maker of Neffy, offers resources at neffy.com/savings-and-support including pharmacy finder tools and savings programs. They also offer a free virtual visit program to help patients get started.

Consider Mail-Order Pharmacy

Some insurance plans offer mail-order pharmacy benefits that can deliver Neffy directly to your door. Check with your insurance provider to see if this is an option. Mail-order pharmacies often have broader inventory than local retail locations.

Ask Your Pharmacist to Special Order It

If your preferred pharmacy doesn't stock Neffy, ask the pharmacist to place a special order through their wholesaler. Most pharmacies can get it within 1 to 3 business days. Get the pharmacist's direct number so you can follow up.

What If You Still Can't Find Neffy?

If you've exhausted all your options and still can't find Neffy, here's what to do:

• Don't go without epinephrine. If you're at risk for anaphylaxis, you need an epinephrine product. Talk to your doctor about alternatives like EpiPen, Auvi-Q, or generic epinephrine auto-injectors while you continue looking for Neffy.
• Check back regularly. Neffy's distribution is expanding every month. A pharmacy that didn't carry it last month may have it now.
• Contact ARS Pharmaceuticals directly at 1-877-MY-NEFFY (877-696-3339). They may be able to help locate a pharmacy in your area.
